Average Rating:
 Rating: - Bob Dylan UnpluggedIn reviewing Bob Dylan's 1965 classic album Bringing All Back Home (you know, the one where he went electric) I noted that it seemed hard to believe now that both as to the performer as well as to what was being attempted that anyone would take umbrage at a performer using an electric guitar to tell a folk story (or any story for that matter). I further pointed out that it is not necessary to go into all the details of what or what did not happen with Pete Seeger at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 to know that one should be glad, glad as hell, that Bob Dylan continued to listen to his own drummer and carry on a career based on electronic music. Others have, endlessly, gone on about Bob Dylan's role as the voice of his generation ...

This album stars Robert Zimmerman as one Bob Dylan, a homegrown American protest folksinger coming out of the backcountry with a keen eye for injustice and a keener ear for memorable, plainspoken lines to expose and excoriate that injustice. Of course on his very next album that same Dylan turned his back on the civil rights movement at the height of its prominence, influence and power to change the country, which to me does cast just the tiniest bit of doubt and suspicion on the sincerity or at least the fervor of these songs. But with that said, at this point in his career Bob Dylan happened to have a still unequaled ability to say big things with small words, and these songs ... Read More: Rating: - Savage with a Promise of HopeI was a senior at Lakewood High School in Southern California when this record came out, I was waiting for it and I wasn't disappointed. From the opening song you knew, just knew the times were a-changin'. You wanted them to be, at least. Only two and a half months earlier JFK had been gunned down in Dallas and for a lot of us the times really sucked. LBJ was in the White House, the war in Vietnam was hotting up, black people were being clubbed to death in the south, oftentimes by the police, the Russians had big bombs pointed our way and we theirs. So when I put on this record, heard the first song in that gut wrenching voice, I wanted to believe, as did many, but sadly not all. "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" rang oh so true, it was an indictment ... Read More: Rating: - Bob DylanI think that this is a wonderful cd. It shows you how very socially relevant Bob Dylan was in his day, with songs that can still have relevance today. God on Our Side, is my personal favorite song, shining light on the fact that every war, every massacre, if done by the right people, can be said to have God on their side. Overall the whole album is very good, something I would definitly recommend. Rating: - Vastly underated....heavy,..great!The header says it all I think; this album is seriously heavy, moving, and easily one of the best efforts Dylan ever put to tape. Not an album to groove around, but Dylan song writing at it's best and with a great delivery too....if you only buy one Bob Dylan album, buy this one! |
