Dylan - destined to change the face of popular music, 20 Dec 2006

By	Hog of Steel (Cheshire UK) - See all my reviews

Although circulating in bootleg form for many years, Columbia records have finally released this classic early Dylan material in pristine recording quality. The sound is warm and intimate, close your eyes and you could be there. He delivers an impressive performance with the confidence and assurance that belies the fact that this is the dawn of his career.

This album provided the valuable missing link between Dylan's self-titled debut album, which consisted mostly of cover tunes, and The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, which unveiled Dylan the songwriter.

New York's Gaslight caf� in Greenwich Village provided a centre point for the flourishing folk scene and a spring-board for the emerging singer-songwriters. Here is musical history in the making. Dylan's interpretations of traditional folk songs imbue them with a unique power and poignancy that would be denied to lesser performers. His early renditions of the self-penned numbers such as Hard Rain and Don't Think Twice provide an insight into the power of his maturing song writing genius and a clear indication that here is a performer destined to chance the face of popular music

Mesmeric storytelling, 5 Jan 2007

By	Nigel Ratcliffe - See all my reviews

I've only this to add to the previous excellent review: Dylan's version of "Barbara Allen" is hypnotic and beautiful. It's typical of him that, of all the many versions of the song he could have chosen, he goes for the one that gives an extra dimension to the relationship between the two characters - misunderstandings and mistimings on the part of both of them. The magic of storytelling has been at the heart of Dylan's work throughout his career.
