By their fifth album, Peter, Paul & Mary had fallen into a consistency of approach that could be viewed as either dependable or predictable. This had the usual assortment of traditional songs ("Motherless Child," "The Cuckoo"), songs that had first gained an audience during prior folk revivals ("Wasn't That a Time"), a bit of original material, ...
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 ...
This three-disc box set is what Dylanphiles have been waiting for, sitting patiently for years, even decades. And, even after its 1991 release, it retains the feeling of being a special, shared secret among the hardcore, since -- no matter the acclaim -- it's the kind of record that only the hardcore will seek out. Of course, the great irony is ...
A typical Arlo Guthrie mix of contemporary folk songs and unexpected material from the past, with a little Bob Dylan and dad Woody Guthrie added for good measure. Guthrie's cover of Dylan's "When the Ship Comes In" is superb, as is his slide guitar take on Hoyt Axton's "Lightning Bar Blues." Also worth noting are renditions of Woody's sad ballad, ...
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 ...
Pogue Mahone (Gaelic for "kiss my arse") is the seventh and final studio album from lauded progressive Irish folk pioneers the Pogues. After the departure of Shane MacGowan, co-founder Spider Stacy found himself at the helm, singing and sharing songwriting duties with the rest of the group. If their post-MacGowan debut, Waiting for Herb, was a ...
Given his enthusiasm for both the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, it's no wonder that author and musician Sid Griffin is a big fan of Chris Hillman, who was a major figure in both groups; Hillman was also the leader of the Desert Rose Band and is a superb bluegrass instrumentalist, not to mention a sideman who's worked with more fine ...
To commemorate 30 years since the release of Dylan's first Columbia album, a marathon tribute concert was held at New York's Madison Square Garden, with a galaxy of stars and voices from the past taking part. The cumulative effect of this tribute was staggering, revealing just how much truly great Dylan material there is to choose from all of his ...
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 ...
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 ...
Some of those involved with Columbia's Byrds box urged the producers to use tracks by the Jet Set, the Beefeaters, the pre-Byrds David Crosby, and the Hillmen; instead, they chose to weigh it down with a lot of later, Skip Battin-era tracks. So Raven Records has done the job instead, gathering together the major pre-Byrds and early Byrds-related ...
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 ...
Before there were the Byrds, the Bluegrass Cardinals, and the Desert Rose Band, there were the Hillmen, a young and earnest bluegrass band with a taste for the high and lonesome sound of Bill Monroe and the faux-folk lyrics of Bob Dylan. Like many young musicians who discovered the world of folk music in the mid-'60s, they combined a deep respect ...
Although California-born, Julie Felix found herself in Britain smack dab in the middle of the folk revival in the mid-'60s, and with her serviceable voice and exotic good looks, she was soon a poster girl for the U.K. scene itself, releasing an album a year for Decca Records between 1964 and 1966, all three of which are collected here in this two ...
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 ...
This is the most controversial album in the Hollies' entire output. Co-founder Graham Nash claimed he quit over the decision to record it, and critics hated it. And on its face, the divisions that existed (and still exist) over this album are all understandable -- even though they had been doing some of his songs in concert, the Hollies' ...
