Description

Howls of rage greeted Dylan as he presented the world with folk rockhe was roundly booed at both the Newport Folk Festival and the Royal Albert Hall. Yet here is one of those moments of cross-influence that changed the course of popular music. BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME gave His Bobness an audience on a plate; it was a massive breakthrough. An album of two different sides, acoustic (his past) and electric (his future), it contains milestones in the blues-rockers Maggies Farm and Subterranean Home Sick Blues, the future Byrds hit Mr. Tambourine Man, and the transcendently poetic Its Alright, Ma. You can debate the is it folk or is it rock arguement forever. Its merely Dylan at one of his many peaks.
