Bob Dylan's second album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was a huge leap forward for this monumentally influential singer and musician. Comprising mostly self penned originals, it mixes protest songs with more gentle folk compositions. This groundbreaking album reached No. 1 in the UK during his 1965 British concert tour. (US:22 UK:1)
"Dylan's outstanding second album is a tremendous jump from its predecessor. Whereas the debut established him as a peerless interpreter of folk and country-blues classics, and a singer like none before, this follow up features some of the most pungent original songs of the '60s."
"More than any other album, Freewheelin' established Dylan as the voice of a generation. With this album Dylan emerged from the cloak of Woody Guthrie and proclaimed his own unique talent."
"I feel compelled to write a review about the brilliance of this record. Its the voice of Dylan that makes these songs so great. If you like the raw side of Bob Dylan and his distinctive blues sound then this is the record for you."
"Dylan captures what it is like to be young and carefree, but at the same time burdened by the guilt of knowledge and responsibility; he sings this all out beautifully, eloquently and simply."
"These songs take you back to the 60s, but the lyrics are as relevant as they could ever be. Sit on that couch, get a coffee and prepare yourself for a great hour of music that really changed the world."
"The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is one of those albums that I think I could listen to and enjoy anytime, regardless of mood. It's just a wonderful classic album. This is a young, idealistic Dylan playing raw, stripped down folk music. To see the glorious roots of the best songwriter of the last 50 years there is no better place to start than here."
