Album Notes Also available in a 3-pack with THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' and ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN. Solo performer: Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica). Engineers: Stan Tonkel, Peter Dauria, George Kneurr. Recorded in Columbia Sound Studios, New York, New York in 1963. Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff. With this album Dylan emerged from the cloak of Woody Guthrie and proclaimed his own unique talent. No longer detached--the set was originally entitled BOB DYLAN'S BLUES--he personalized his songs, famously rejecting four from the final draft in favor of others reflecting his newer muse. Protest songs were given a wider resonance--the text of "Masters Of War" remains sadly relevant decades later--while his love songs are haunting but universal statements. Dylan injected black humor into the talking blues and railed against injustice in all forms, with a perception encompassing the anger of a generation. FREEWHEELIN' is a landmark in the development of folk and pop music. Editorial Reviews Rolling Stone (12/11/2003) | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in all of his folk glory. Masters Of War is one of my favorite Dylan tunes. "I hope that you die and your death will come soon" Powerful stuff. Your Dylan collection will not be complete without this. 5 Stars. Review ID: 10000000004563737 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 02/01/04 by: the_musician -- a member of Epinions Pros: Lyrics, atmosphere, scope, pretty much everything. Cons: None. With the 1962 self-titled release, Bob Dylan established himself as a significant icon within folk circles around New York. The album introduced his unique style of singing and playing, as well as his reoccurring sense of social activism, awareness, humour, and compassion. However, the album was predominantly covers; only two original compositions graced the album. It was only when Dylan came out with the monolithic The Freewheelin Bob Dylan that he established himself as a songwriter. And how! is my first thought when I consider Freewheelin . This sophomore effort absolutely eclipses his... Review ID: 10000000000218099 Review created: 12/02/07 by: wlswarts -- a member of Epinions Pros: Amazing lyrics, Decent music, Moments of voice Cons: Some is dated, Usual voice stuff, SHORT! I figured it was about time in my life I sat down and started listening to the music of Bob Dylan. I'm 31 years old and I'm fairly sure that until yesterday I had never heard a full Dylan album before. I certainly hadn't heard one since the advent of c.d.s. So, when I had the opportunity to pick up a small collection of Dylan discs, I thought, "Sure, it's about time." On the interesting side, I got to start almost at the beginning of Dylan's career with his sophomore album "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan." "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" is a thirteen track album that clocks in at just over fifty.. Review ID: 10000000006857146 Review created: 06/07/00 by: amerpie -- a member of Epinions Pros: Some of these tunes define contemporary folk music Cons: Some of the topical songs may seem dated It s been a long time since any artist had the effect on society that Bob Dylan did in the early 1960s. Although he successfully reinvented himself later in the decade as a rocker, the 1962 version of Dylan was an acoustic, angry, and uniquely talented folk singer. His first album Bob Dylan consisted mainly of cover versions of traditional folk songs. His second album, The Freewheeling Bob Dylan contains only songs written by Dylan himself. And, what songs they are. The classic Blowing in the Wind first appeared on this recording. Peter, Paul, and Mary recorded it the next year and took it to. Review ID: 10000000000218100 Review created: 11/25/01 by: NinaNee -- a member of Epinions Pros: fun, catchy, great lyrics, timeless Cons: I can't see any, some may think some lyrics are silly though... The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan disc is one of his best. It is all early tracks with just Bob and his acoustic guitar. Believe me, that's all you need for this album. It begins with the classic Blowin' In The Wind, one of the greatest folk songs ever recorded. All of the lyrics have great meaning and depth that stems even in our world today. "How many times must the cannon balls fly, before they are forever banned?" Girl From The North Country is a song about longing for a lost love and just hoping that she's safe right now and wondering what she's doing now. Masters Of War is a song about the... Review ID: 10000000000218103 Review created: 02/05/00 by: staceyg -- a member of Epinions Pros: the price, readily available Cons: none that I can think of "And a voice that came from you and me" Bob Dylan's Voice and music truly was for the people. At least when this album arose on the scene. Bob Dylan (aka Robert Zimmerman) created his celebrity. He was a talented boy, whose musical idol was folk singer Woody Guthrie. This album came out before Bob plugged in at the Newport Folk festival disappointing many of his fans. If I were stranded on a desert Island, (or anywhere for that matter) This is one album I would like to have with me. (God forbid I ever need to be limited to one album) It's moods / styles change from melancholy - "Don't Think...
