THE FREEWHEELIN’ BOB DYLAN
BOB
DYLAN
1963
The arrival of Bob Dylan's sophomore album revealed the extent of his songwriting skill. Where his self-titled debut album was mostly covers, 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' LP offers only 2 remakes. The remaining 11 tracks are all Dylan originals.
This album is also home to the watershed songs "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Masters Of War". Both kick-started the revival of folk music and protest songs during the 1960s and are still cited as among the most significant in rock history.
With this recording, Dylan took his place among rock's most luminary performers. His lyrics still inspire to this day. As well as the 2 aforementioned tracks, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" exhibits his gift as a lyricist.
Other highlight songs on this LP include "Girl From The North Country", "Talkin' World War III Blues", "Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance", "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right", "Corrina, Corrina" and "I Shall Be Free". Dylan had arrived.
