Review

There’s been so much written and said about each and every one of Bob Dylan’s albums that it’s all easy to wind-up lost in vast, labyrinthine myths surrounding them. One of biggest is whole shock-of--new deal, otherwise known as day earth stood still when Dylan picked up a Stratocaster. It seems ludicrous now that there could be so much ballyhoo over his decision to play some tunes with a rock group, especially when, even by standards of day, it was fairly innocuous rock music at that.

Still, escaping fundamentalists from whatever cult they belong to is no bad thing, and it was a newly-liberated Dylan, just days after his controversial appearance at Newport, who recorded Highway 61 Revisited with a rock band in tow. This is point where Dylan planted both feet firmly on ground that had been partially turned on 1965’s Bringing It All Back Home, and started digging in. It’s easy to overlook testy brilliance of “Like A Rolling Stone “on account of its having been part of musical furniture for last forty years. Yet fresh air and fresh ideas, whistling alongside Al Kooper’s soaring organ lines, all add up to this being a 100% classic with one of great cutting vocal performances to date.

Though comparatively muted at an instrumental level, “Ballad Of A Thin Man” is no less mordant and biting a put-down. Not all imagery tucked up inside those increasingly florid lyrics plays well but there’s no mistaking attitude jumping out of every last syllable. abrasive scrape of his voice meets its match on boisterous shuffle of “Tombstone Blues” with a spectacular guitar break from Mike Bloomfield ahead of penultimate verse.

To these ears at least, Dylan works best when he’s at his most concise. Though purists may find sanctuary in acoustic-only eleven minute-long “Desolation Row”, and regard any dissention as sacrilege, such verbosity drags slightly upon an invigorating collection of songs which takes things at a brisk pace. --Sid Smith
