The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Brand: Legacy
Also available in a 3-pack with THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' and ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN.Solo performer: Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica).Engineers: Stan Tonkel, Peter Dauria, George Kneurr.Recorded in Columbia Sound Studios, New York, New York in 1963.Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff.With this album Dylan emerged from the cloak of Woody Guthrie and proclaimed his own unique talent. No longer detached--the set was originally entitled BOB DYLAN'S BLUES--he personalized his songs, famously rejecting four from the final draft in favor of others reflecting his newer muse. Protest songs were given a wider resonance--the text of "Masters Of War" remains sadly relevant decades later--while his love songs are haunting but universal statements. Dylan injected black humor into the talking blues and railed against injustice in all forms, with a perception encompassing the anger of a generation. FREEWHEELIN' is a landmark in the development of folk and pop music.
