This was always one of my favourite Dylan's albums since its releasing. I bought it because I liked Lay Lady Lay since the time when it was released as the single. The other tracks deserve the same attention. I liked this item because Dylan made very strong influence to me especially in his "middle period" (1969-1972). Maybe, someone would say that it's a sort of pop but very recognizable one. All in all, that's why I liked it!
This was Bob's first 'Up You' album... A radical departure from anything he'd ever done before... All the way to Nashville, though this time instead of a 'Blonde On Blonde' album, we got some serious country folk/rock... At just over 27 minutes in length it could never be described as indulgent. But what it has is 10 stunning songs. Including the masssive hit 'Lay Lady Lay' and the off the cuff duet with Johnny Cash 'Girl From The North Country'... And one of Dyulan's greatest ever songs ' I Threw It All Away' - A love song like no other... It's been a while since I'd really sat back and listened to this album and do you know something, considering it's almost 40 years old - it is so damn fresh.. Tracks liike 'Nashville Skyline Rag', 'Peggy Day' and 'Country Pie' zip along with a great air to them... This is also the album where Bob tries to sing in a singers voice, rather than do Bob... It works wonderfully well... The album topped the charts when first issued - though I bet there were a lot of the old school Dylan fans out there as unsure of this abrupt change in direction, as they were when 'Like A Rolling Stone' blasted out 3 years previously... I'd recommend this to anyone even just dipping their toe into the Dylan world... It's not his best album, but it is wonderful..Read full review
As a young new fan of Dylans I am slowly catching up with Dylan's music. I got this album a few weeks ago. I am not a fan of country and western music and thought I would not enjoy the music but I did. The opening and ending tracks were good. I noticed the change in Bob's voice which I do not like too much. I read an interview he did with Q magazine in which he explained that he gave up smoking for a while which made is voice change. Although the albums good I feel the sound quality lets it down I hope it will be remastered to improve the sound. Other than that It is good.
I am gradually duplicating my Dylan collection(LPs collected as and when they were issued). With the aid of eBay, and reliable traders on the site, this task is made comparatively simple. After Dylan there are other LP collections that need to be duplicated - but I have no doubt this will be easily accomplished via eBay and these traders.
