Bob Dylan's groundbreaking album Bringing It All Back Home included his first tracks with electric backing, to the consternation of his more purist folk fans. Includes the UK top ten single Subterranean Homesick Blues. (US:6 UK:1)
"This is a great album. There is not a single weak spot."
"All in all, this is as good a portrait of Dylan's inventiveness as can be found. It's a showcase for his brilliant writing, his evolving musical exposition and his ability to parlay his unconventional voice into some of the world's most expressive and effective vocals."
"The furore over going electric now looks childish in the extreme and this is one of Bob's strongest set of songs."
"By the time of this 1965 release, Dylan had already proven himself a lyrical master and a new legend in the folk universe. With his electrified performance at the Newport Folk Festival, and this half-electric/half-acoustic LP, he showed that he was not only far from done with pushing the envelope, but that he'd really only begun. In particular, his music and subject matter were now catching up to his revolutionary words and lyrical structures."
"This is where, in retrospect, it all started. I didn't realize it at the time but I do now. There were two sixties, the early 60-64, Beach Boys, Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, crew-cut, clean-cut, A-line dress, beehive hair, American Graffiti sixties, and the other sixties, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Jimi Hendrix, Steppenwolf, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Cream, hippy sixties that everyone today thinks was the sixties, happened after 1965. And it all started with this album."
"No one will ever really unravel what the meaning of Subterranean Homesick Blues was about except that it has produced one of the most famous lines of the 1960s 'you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows'."
