Bob Dylan – The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964

Biography

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman) is one of the most important singer-songwriters of the era of recorded, commercially available music. His lyrics are a yardstick against which aspiring young singer-songwriters measure themselves. He broke seemingly unbreakable rules, and he did so with stalwart passion and uncompromising honesty. He incorporated musical traditions from a diverse range of… Read more in Amazon's Bob Dylan Store

2.0 out of 5 stars For The Dylan Novice Only, December 1, 2005
By 
Anthony Accordino (Massapequa Park, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of Bob Dylan (Audio CD)
"The Best Of Bob Dylan", is a very thin overview at best, and I can only recommend this disc to someone who has never owned a Dylan cd, and they want a small sampling[and I mean small], of a career that has spanned over 40 years. Most Dylan fans already own his more expansive collections, like "Biograph", and the "Greatest Hits Vol, 1,2, and 3" compilations. If you are new to Dylan, I would recommend the "Essential Bob Dylan", if you just want one CD. That double disc gives a healthy serving of Dylan classics, and is more complete. If you have never owned a Dylan collection before, and you buy this, try listening to his "Blonde On Blonde" or "Blood On The Tracks" cd to see what you have been missing!

2.0 out of 5 stars Want to spare a dollar for Columbia?, December 21, 2005
By 
Blues Bro "bluesbro" (Lakewood, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of Bob Dylan (Audio CD)
I guess Columbia records need some money this Christmas to pay for new yacths for their excecutives. We already have Greatest Hits I, Greatest Hits II, Greatest Hits III, The Essential Bob Dylan, and now in time for the Holidays: The Best of Bob Dylan. Nothing special about this collection, in fact, its preety dumb trying to put tracks from the 60's, 70, 80, 90, and 2000's in the same CD. Its a mess and a very unnatural listen. Get the greatest hits packages, and from there, start collecting the albums. This compilation is nonsense.

4.0 out of 5 stars His best single disc collection?, November 15, 2005
By 
H3@+h "Over 1500 reviews!" (thanks for the helpful review votes) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Bob Dylan (Audio CD)
This set is for the extremely casual fan who thought the 2-disc "Essential" collection was just too much. This is roughly the best of that, and better than his "Greatest Hits" because of the inclusion of what he's done since. This is also almost exactly the same as the UK only "Best Of" right down to the cover photo, just two tracks shorter. Anyway, this gives you his early classic material like "Blowin' In The Wind", "Like A Rolling Stone", and "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", as well as his better later stuff like "Tangled Up In Blue", "Gotta Serve Somebody", and "Jokerman". My personal favorites are the cool "Lay Lady Lay" and the moving "Not Dark Yet". Both are excellent. Obviously this is missing a ton of great songs, and I would recommend more, but for a single disc it does the job well.
