Several of Dylan's best early songs are here...the only thing you can really say against "Times" is that most of them are available on equally good or better renditions on Dylan's live albums or on the first two "Greatest Hits" albums. Even casual fans should pick up "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan", but they may find that the live renditions of songs like "One Too Many Mornings", "With God On Their Side", and "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll" available on "Live 1964" and "Live 1966" is all they need.
Serious fans will definitely want this one as well, though. A notable lack of up-tempo songs and the generally bleak outlook of this album might turn off casual listeners a little bit, but you can't deny the quality of songs like "Only A Pawn In Their Game", "Boots Of Spanish Leather", "Hattie Carroll", and the title track.
Dylan's most traditionally folkish album, "Times" concentrates mainly on social protest, writing a bunch of very serious lyrics without the whimsical absurdism of other early records. It may pale next to its predecessor, but it's pretty terrific by most other standarts.
This year I have been listening to a lot of Woody Guthrie's songs and as great as Bob Dylan was in the Sixties and beyond, if there are people who do not remember when Guthrie was America's troubadour that is truly a shame. Listening to these songs you can clearly see the strong parallels between the two, with Dylan providing the same angry arrogance as his hero in the title track on "With God On Our Side." But Guthrie could also tell stories and Dylan takes his turn at that as well, with "Ballad of Hollis Brown" and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll." There are not as many Dylan classics on this one as "Freewheelin'," but this is perhaps an even better collection of the really early Dylan, in off the bus from the Hibbing in the big bad city.
In 1964 Bob Dylan produced 'The Times They Are A Changin''. In my opinion this is Dylan's best album. I am not one of these people who call Judas at concerts and believe him to be a traitor, my second favourite album is 'Highway 61 Revisited' but this is just something beyond this world.
His last 'protest' album before he started his 'rebellion' really is a treat. The way Dylan effortlessly puts poetic imagery in your mind which makes you think about the way the world is really makes me believe he's from another planet.
This album has the infamous song which holds the same title as the album and that is worth the price of the album alone.
This album is a piece of music history and simply is the greatest album in the world. Don't be put off by the word 'folk' it's so much more than a man singing songs about farms and women, It is poetry and music mixed and the product is 'The Times They Are A Changin'' and it does not dissapoint.
