Dylan is a Bob Dylan album, released on Columbia Records in 1973, which compiles outtakes drawn mostly from Dylan's New Morning sessions in the spring of 1970.
Dylan's voice is in fine form, and his backing musicians really rock (especially on the title track and "From a Buick 6".) However, my only complaint is that the harmonica was mixed too loudly and with too much treble, so that it is sometimes piercing to the ear.
Dylan gets into a groove like the best of the funk bands, but his are very intellectual, lyrical grooves that flow like poetry (mainly because they ARE poetry) and, at their best, are intriguing stories.

Dylan's next album, The Times They Are A-Changin', provided more of the same: the title cut and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" were the standout protest songs, while "Boots of Spanish Leather" was his saddest and most graceful love song so far.
Dylan's own transition from folk troubadour to rock bard was not quite so smooth: debuting his new material with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, he was famously booed off the stage.
Nashville Skyline, his next album, seemed to revel in disappointing fans' expectations: it was a straight country record, and despite some lovely songs (especially "I Threw It All Away") and a hit single ("Lay Lady Lay") it was seen as Dylan's first real artistic misstep.

Bob Dylan is the eponymous debut from folk (People in general) and rock (Material consisting of the aggregate of minerals like those making up the Earth's crust) legend Bob Dylan (United States songwriter noted for his protest songs (born in 1941)).
Dylan's main musical influence at the time of the release of Bob Dylan was folk icon Woody Guthrie (United States folk singer and songwriter (1912-1967)), and indeed on several of the songs Dylan is apparently imitating Guthrie's Okie (additional info and facts about Okie) drawl.

 Album Reviews on CLUAS - Bob Dylan 'Live 75: Rolling Thunder Revue'
The period was probably one of his happiest: Dylan has always been a maverick journey man, often preferring a life on the road as a kind of refuge and refreshment from the commitment of studio work.
Dylan is regularly an infuriating study in the very mediocrity of his concerts - every fan has been angered by a Dylan dud where he mangles one great song after another.
Dylan gems "Simple Twist Of Fate" and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" meanwhile sound jaded, bleached by the electric treatment here while "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is a different beast from its guise on a billion beatniks' bedroom stereos.

Dylan’s implicit answer, I think, is that this was a crucial period in his creative growth.
Dylan rejects not only the swelling tide of his generation, calling out to him to step forward as their prophet, but also the still calm authoritative voice of MacLeish, and further back, the voice of his own father.
Dylan’s goal is not to construct a heroic creative presence, but to give a realistic portrayal of his creative growth and its necessary changes—and losses.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : Bob Dylan
Dylan was very much in his protest phase by now and as a result this record is almost unremittingly bleak.
Dylan has never been the greatest harmony singer in the world but the results are still strangely captivating in a ramshackle kind of way.
Dylan records have a habit of working best when they are a window into his soul, his state of mind and being at the given time whatever record was recorded.

 Bob Dylan
Over the years he's made albums that were praised as the greatest albums of all time (sometimes unjustly, but who can tell?); albums that were trampled over as the most horrible trash in the world (sometimes unjustly, but who can tell?); and albums that were both.
In fact, this album is not very significant musically, but it sure provides a lot of insight into Bob's roots: after listening to it a few times you begin to understand all those incessant country and folk cliches of which his early acoustic albums are chockful.
Note the parallelism between this album opener and the next one: this was a short period during which Dylan's aim was to knock you off your rocker with a heavy verbal barrage right from the very start.

 Bob Dylan : Bob Dylan - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Bob Dylan's first album is a lot like the debut albums by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones -- a sterling effort, outclassing most, if not all, of what came before it in the genre, but similarly eclipsed by the artist's own subsequent efforts.
His raspy-voiced delivery and guitar style were modeled largely on Guthrie's classic 1940s and early 1950s recordings, but the assertiveness of the bluesmen he admires also comes out, making this one of the most powerful records to come out of the folk revival of which it was a part.
Within a year of its release, Dylan, initially in tandem with young folk/protest singers like Peter, Paul & Mary and Phil Ochs, would alter the boundaries of that revival beyond recognition, but this album marked the pinnacle of that earlier phase, before it was overshadowed by this artist's more ambitious subsequent work.

Dylan shows an unlikely innocence and a greater sense of the world around him on this 1976 follow-up to the more cynical and introspective Blood on the Tracks.
I love all of Dylan's albums, but this is my favorite of all time, mainly b/c the addition of emmylou and scarlet make this so much different (but still as good) than his other albums.
Dylan, for the most part, maintains the gorgeous melodies, sharp wit and magnificent story telling we have come to expect from him.

 bobdylan.com: Bob Dylan News
Dylan talks openly and extensively about this critical period in his career, detailing the journey from his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, to Greenwich Village, New York, where he became the center of a musical and cultural upheaval, the effects of which are still felt today.
Bob Dylan's first and third albums, "Bob Dylan" (1962) and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" (1964) have been remastered for superior audio quality and will be released on CD on June 21, 2005.
Recorded when American popular music was 'like a running election,' Dylan's 'music of transformations' induced a conflicted, confused America to look at its social disasters of racism, drug abuse and Vietnam, Marcus says, while simultaneously permitting it to strip away its illusions and hope for a better future.

 Bob Dylan Who's Who
Dylan's song has very little to do with the story of the real Hardin; instead, it's basically just a spin-off of Woody Guthrie's "Pretty Boy Floyd." Some Dylan fans note the religious bent of this album and claim that the initials 'JWH' really refer to the Judeo-Christian deity...
In JWH, Dylan transforms himself into an American stereotype: a Western frontiersman, preacher, itinerate type of fellow (usually alcoholic) which could be seen played occasionally by a guest character actor on the many TV westerns of the 50s & 60s.
Dylan in response to this non- reproducable music gave us the first unplugged album: JWH, with its Acoustic rhythm guitar, harp, bass, and drums which could be reproduced anywhere (Blonde on Blonde where are you?).

 Amazon.com: Blood on the Tracks [HYBRID SACD] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The album's epic songs are well known, but its real high points are the shorter numbers--"You're a Big Girl Now," the flawless blues "Meet Me in the Morning," and the sweetly devastating "Buckets of Rain." These are songs of "images and distorted facts," each expressed through tangled points of view, and all of them blue.
I think the reason for this is mainly because it was born in a creative burst of pointed lyricisim as his marriage to Sara Lowndes collapsed, with all the songs written in two months in the middle of 1974.
It also has a line that Dylan seems to sing with nice pitch and without affection, to wit, "and Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair." Pay attention next time through to that one phrase.
