Bob Dylan hits peak form with Blonde On Blonde displaying his mastery over a diverse variety of song styles. It was the first double album to be released of original material. Includes the hit singles Rainy Day Women and I Want You. (US:9 UK:3)
"Blonde On Blonde was a double album that featured a wide variety of music proving just what the man was capable of. The mid-60s were arguably Dylan's most prolific and creative period and it is somewhat amazing to look back on the vast amount of quality work that he produced during this time. Here is another important musical nugget from the 60s and an essential album to own from that decade. There are great love songs, fun songs, more serious fare and just about everything in between."
"This album is unbelievable. The band is working together terrifically, the songs have superb lyrics and melodies. Even the more 'lightweight' songs move along with this great feeling. An unmistakeable masterpiece."
"Brilliant, from Rainy Day Women to Sad Eyed Lady, it rocks, it soothes, its quirky, its diverse its everything the 60s was and influenced everything that followed. It has great songs of course - a masterpiece for sure."
"Blonde On Blonde is definitely a case of the whole being greater than the sum of it’s parts. Taken as a whole it’s a classic, a reference point in popular music, and a record I will never tire of hearing."
"What is striking about this album is its depth, a cliché perhaps, but none-the-less true. Repeated listenings to this album are essentially an ongoing journey of discovery. I have owned it for years and I am still discovering new dimensions to these tunes. It is a sprawling double album packed with endless facets of Dylan’s creativity. Taking it all in on first listen is impossible, since it isn’t a light pop/rock album filled with catchy yet depthless hooks."
