Bob Dylan: Blonde on Blonde (1966)
As we approach the 60th anniversary of Dylan’s final masterwork of his early period – following the folksy The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan and The Times They are a-Changin’ then the run-up through folk-rock with Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited, all essential – we arrive in a world of surreal lyrics (Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again), engrossing poetry (Visions of Johanna, the 11-minute Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands), and pop-rock (I Want You). A double album to live with. People still do six decades on.
Next: Donovan, Sunshine Superman; Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited and Blood on the Tracks
