  Highway 61 Revisited - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 61 Revisited, widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever, was the sixth album released by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
Highway 61, sometimes called the "Blues Highway," stretched from New Orleans through Memphis and from Iowa through Dylan's birthplace, Duluth, to the Canadian border.
Years after its release, Dave Marsh wrote that Highway 61 Revisited was one of Dylan's "best albums, and [one] of the greatest in the history of rock and roll." Subsequent polls in recent years prove that it remains a fixture in the rock pantheon.

 Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited ---Ink Blot Magazine
Sure, Highway 61 Revisited is considered a milestone in modern music nowadays, but when it was released in 1965, all was not well for Bob Dylan.
In fact, Highway 61 was recorded amidst cries that he had abandoned his folk roots and had sold out to base rock 'n' roll.
However, the groundwork for that album was laid with Highway 61, and it certainly wouldn't have been as universally accepted without it.

Highway 61 tells the long story of America at the crossroads, sometimes making deals with the devil, sometimes not.
I imagine the young folk singer, sitting at the mouth of that highway, deep in the woods, soaking up the American history and music that rolls upcountry like deep river water, from Louisiana and Mississippi and Tennessee, finally pooling in the pine woods of Minnesota, a perfect place for the young poet to drink from.
Then again, Highway 61 ends at the New Orleans Superdome, America's forgotten island of the damned and dispossessed, reminding all America that the highway still tells the unrelenting story of rich and poor, white and fl, conservative and liberal.

DEEP: Another reissue from the Scorpio folks, this one presenting the Highway 61 Revisited acetate tracks, including different mixes, mono mixes, outtakes and alternate/single versions (most notably the "Desolation Row" outtake).
Quality is excellent but do expect the flaws in the acetate to cause some pops and clicks, and there are short periods where a buzzing noise is evident.
NOTE: The CD packaging identifies this disc as "Highway 61 Revisted [sic] Again." Although the disc is most often reported as taken from Highway 61 Revisited acetates, the source for most tracks is apparently a reel-to-reel compilation of session mixes made in early August 1965 for copyright/publishing purposes.

 DIECAST Highway 61 Revisited
Stretching from New Orleans to the U.S.-Canada border in Grand Portage, Minnesota, U.S. Highway 61-like its east-west counterpart Route 66- is a dying vestige of a time when two fltop lanes represented the zenith of cross-country highway travel.
Unlike Route 66, however, a strong case can be made that Highway 61 - running 1,699 miles through the gut of the nation - is a much truer cross-section of American heritage and geography.
From the Deep South, steeped in the tragic legacy of slavery and the magic of rhythm and blues, to the lily-white North Shore of Lake Superior, inhabited largely by the decendants fo Scandinavian immigrants, this evocative and artfully executed celebration of Highway 61 is organized as a "road trip" book.

Everything about "Highway 61 Revisited," from Dylan's glowering James Dean pose on the front cover and his amazing lyrics, to Bloomfield's searing guitar and Kooper's majestic organ (a happy accident apparently), comes together to create what many regard as the finest single album of the rock era.
Nigel Williamson, in his "Rough Guide..." probably says it best, "If you had to sum up "Highway 61 Revisited" in a single sentence, suffice it to say that it is the album that invented attitude and raised it to an art form.
