Genre: Singer-Songwriter Rock |
Dates: 1966 |
After Dylan's cataclysmic Highway 61 Revisited, rock and roll would never be the same: any group with poetic, political, or philosophical ambitions needs to pay its respects. On this, the follow-up, Dylan moved even further away from political commentary into a woozy, sardonic world of indelibly surrealistic detail. Including: the first non-jazz, non-classical song to take up an entire album side ("Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands"); Dylan's first-ever guitar solo ("Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat"); a brilliant rip-off of John Lennon's "Norwegian Wood," which was itself a rip-off of Dylan ("4th Time Around"); a trip into a world beyond the night to rival any of the Beats ("Visions of Johanna"); and a call to pariahhood ("Rainy Day Women #12 & 35," one of rock's great double-entendres, even if few hear it that way). Not to mention enough snappy epigrams to earn an invite to an Oscar Wilde dinner party!
