If The Times They Are a-Changin' isn't a marked step forward from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, even if it is his first collection of all originals, it's nevertheless a fine collection all the same. It isn't as rich as Freewheelin', and Dylan has tempered his sense of humor considerably, choosing to concentrate on social protests in the style of ...
It does seem strange, very strange indeed, to be hearing an official release of this historic concert, which has been available as a bootleg for decades. The Halloween gig at Philharmonic Hall in New York was a special part of the tour for Another Side of Bob Dylan, arguably his greatest acoustic recording. What's more poignant, however, is how it ...
For his impressionistic 2007 Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There, director Todd Haynes hired an army of six actors to portray the singer/songwriter, each thespian representing a different phase or public persona of Dylan's career. The accompanying double-disc soundtrack -- not all of its 34 songs are used in the film -- employs a similar conceit, as ...
The biggest criticism of The Bootleg Series, Vol. 5: Bob Dylan Live 1975 -- the third installment in Columbia/Legacy's excavation of the exhaustive Bob Dylan vaults (the first was a box set, containing three volumes) -- is that it's a compilation of highlights from his Rolling Thunder Revue of 1975, one that doesn't set out to replicate a set list ...
Historically, Biograph is significant not for what it did for Dylan's career, but for establishing the box set, complete with hits and rarities, as a viable part of rock history. Following Biograph, multi-disc box sets for veteran rockers became accepted and almost the norm, but that doesn't discount this set's strengths as a summary of Dylan's ...
The music of Bob Dylan has long been highly valued in Jamaica (the Wailers recorded an odd, eerie version of "Like a Rolling Stone" as early as 1966), and given the amazing elastic mutability of his songs (and the equally elastic adaptability of reggae rhythms), it should come as no surprise that a collection of reggae covers of his compositions ...
Although the intentions behind this compilation were valid, Stefanie Reines -- one of the overlords of emo label Drive Thru -- has made an erroneous decision in funding this project. Let's be honest: the number of folks who have covered Bob Dylan songs with success has been minimal, save for maybe X and Bruce Springsteen. Yet the optimistic Reines ...
This collection combines the Bob Dylan albums The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan from 1963 with 1964's The Times They Are A-Changin' and Another Side of Bob Dylan in a long box set that presents a fascinating progression from Dylan's pure folk beginnings through the brilliant, innovative, and startlingly surreal narratives that led up to his electric ...
It would be far too easy to simply call this the definitive Martin Carthy compilation. Given its length -- four CDs plus a CD-ROM -- it would seem to cover all the high spots. In fact, it goes far deeper, looking at his career not chronologically, but splitting the albums into Classic Carthy, Carthy in Company, Carthy Contemporaries, and Child: ...
Bob Dylan has long been held in high regard in Jamaica, and although his influence isn't front and center in reggae or dancehall, it is easy to see the political and compositional lessons that artists like Bob Marley drew from Dylan, and if you lean in closely, you'll realize it's a much shorter drive from the rhythmic structure of "Subterranean ...
This is the slipcase version of the second volume in Sony's three-pack of Bob Dylan albums -- they are issuing his entire catalog this way. While some of these volumes put two fine recordings together with a dog, there is nothing but gold here on Collection, Vol. 2: Freewheelin' Bob Dylan/Times They Are A-Changin'/Another Side; all are from Dylan ...
After far too long between solo outings, England's leading man of folk returns with a surprisingly relaxed, refreshed set, Signs of Life. While there's plenty of traditional material, like the epic revisiting of "Prince Heathen," which Martin Carthy first recorded with musical partner Dave Swarbrick back in the '60s, and a wonderful take on "Sir ...
Sony repackaged and re-released Bob Dylan's first three albums of all original material -- the extraordinary The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin' and Another Side of Bob Dylan -- as a slip-cased box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or ...
Twenty-four-year-old folksinger Judy Collins' performance at Town Hall in New York City on March 21, 1964, was billed as her first concert, which is to say, her first appearance in a theater, as opposed to the folk clubs she was accustomed to playing. It was a big step up for a performer who was just releasing her third album and was gradually ...
This set combines two of Bob Dylan's landmark albums from 1964, The Times They Are A-Changin' and Another Side of Bob Dylan, and the pairing is certainly an interesting one, since Times is perhaps Dylan's most directly political album while Another Side is one of his most insularly personal ones, and between them lies the chasm of debate that ...
Jewish lesbian folksinger Phranc took the punk world by surprise when she released her militant folk record in 1985. A former punk rocker herself, Phranc set topical songs like "Noguchi" and "Everywhere I Go (I Hear the Go Go's)," the anti-suicide "Lifelover," and the sing-along "Female Mudwrestling" beside her strict cover of Dylan's "The ...
As good as Judy Collins' first two albums were in the early '60s (A Maid of Constant Sorrow and Golden Apples of the Sun), neither suggested the depth or vision she'd later become noted for. By the release of Judy Collins #3 in 1963, however, it became apparent that a deeper intelligence lay behind the choice of material and arrangements. The song ...
