Advantages: Acoustic sound / Good songs / Good insight into the begginings of a legend Disadvantages: Cover songs / Not enough actual Dylan songs / Not versatile
The first studio album from the folk/rock giant BobDylan is a self titled collection of 'folk standard' cover songs and a couple of originals. The sound is characterized by the untamed and unique yet tuneful sound of Dylan, his acoustic guitar and his sharp harmonica sound.
While this is not Dylan's most praised or powerful effort, the album sets Dylan up perfectly for what was the first stage in an impressive career. Dylan places himself firmly into the 'folk' genre here and with songs like 'Song to Woody' (written by Dylan), where he shows us his appreciation for topical and powerful lyricists.
This album is lacks extensive lyrical contribution by BobDylan and, thus, we miss out on the most important side of Dylan's music. For a first time listener to Dylan, a more sensible starting place is his second album 'Freewheelin' BobDylan ...
Advantages: Masterfully edited, full of astounding footage both familiar and otherwise...a classic. Disadvantages: None.
Martin Scorsese's brilliant documentary tracing the progression of BobDylan from endearingly awkward Duluth teenager to other-worldly, speed-fried Icon is as stunning a piece of work as any of the director's classics, and leagues above most of his output from the preceding decade.
Utilising a wealth of revelatory, rarely-seen footage and interview material, No Direction Home is, for the first half at least, as much about America in the pause-for-breath moment between the beat writers of the 1950s and the counter-culture student movements of the mid-to-late 1960s as it is about the life and work of Robert Zimmerman. It is - clichéd as it sounds - a sweeping, engrossing portrait of a time and of a place, scouring the terrain leads from the rattle-tattle zap-pow gyrations of Ginsberg and Kerouac to the pound pound pounding of Odetta ...
Advantages: Some Nice Tracks, Providing Yet Another Side To The Musical Ability Of Bob Dylan Disadvantages: Not Quite A Complete Representation Of The Recordings
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is the soundtrack to the film of the same name, consisting of track s written and recorded by BobDylan. It followed on from New Morning, with many calling it an amateurish release, not pertaining to the heights of his previous earlier works, but for me this is far from the truth. As with many soundtrack albums it is made up of mainly instrumental material, with a few tracks that can be considered to be songs. It is often criticised for this aspect, and for the fact that it provides three versions of in effect the same song, Billy 1, Billy 4 and Billy 7, done in opposing styles. But there has also been much praise for Knockin' on Heaven's Door, which in truth is best heard live. This should not really be considered as a fully fledged studio album, but more as another insight into the mind of the great man ...
