BOB DYLAN: BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME

Bringing It All Back Home is a candidate for the most groundbreaking album in the history of rock music, combining the energy of rock and roll with sophisticated, introspective lyrics, expanding the scope of popular music. A couple of years earlier, Dylan was the golden child of protest folk; he'd largely abandoned the genre lyrically on Another Side of Bob Dylan, and now he abandoned it musically, utilising a rock band on the album's first side. The album's divided into two clear sides - the first side sees Dylan accompanied by a band. The second side is almost entirely solo, with four longer compositions. For all of the historical significance of Bringing It All Back Home, it's overshadowed by its two successors. But there are a lot of essential songs here, and it's a worthy first installment in Dylan's renowned mid-1960s trilogy of electric albums.
