Bob Dylan: "Johnny Cash's voice was so big, it made the world grow small... When I first heard 'I Walk the Line' so many years earlier, it sounded like a voice calling out 'What are you doing there, boy?' I was trying to keep my eyes wide opened, too."

Raw and Gutsy,
By Randall K. Ventresca (Sarasota, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bob Dylan (Audio CD)
"Bob Dylan" - An album that has sort of been ignored through the years, partially because Dylan only has a couple original songs on the album. But, to fully understand the man and what he would later become artistically, you must experience this amazing, gritty piece of Americana.This album is not just folk, contrary to popular belief, neither was Bob...not really....this album is many things...blues, folk, gospel...sung and played by a real bluesman. It is a great collection of songs that are expressed from the soul. The performances are quite spectacular for such a young man to be singing them. "In My Time of Dying", "You're No Good", "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Gospel Plow" and "House of the Rising Sun" are among the classics. "Song to Woody", written by Bob is beautiful. A MUST HAVE!

woody would have been proud,
By Rankin Fred (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bob Dylan (Audio CD)
This is Bob at his unplugged best, wailing on the harmonica and playing his version of white-boy blues and folk. The recording is a little flat and sounds a little like Alan Lomax's hotel-room blues records, but Dylan shines through on this charming first album. If you are just discovering Dylan, you should probably start with the Greatest Hits albums or Another Side, Highway 61, Bringing It all Back Home and John Wesley Harding, but if you wish to hear Bleecker Bob exploring his roots, you have to own this one.

My favorite overall Dylan record,
By
This review is from: Bob Dylan (Audio CD)
I really like the sparseness of just him and an acoustic guitar. Most of the songs are fast and more like country blues than the protest folk songs he would later write. I cant believe the gravely voice on FIXIN' TO DIE and IN MY TIME OF DYING come from the baby faced kid on the front. He sounds like some 60 year old black man from the Mississippi Delta. Great powerfull music!
