03/28/2006 | This was the one that changed the face of modern rock/folk/pop music. Everyone found meaning and direction in its grooves (if they had the smarts and patience to dig in). Although the lyrics may seem obvious by today's standards, the music, instrumentation and playing are striking.

03/24/2006 | Wild careening and poetic. Dylan acheived his wild thin mercury sound and left the old world behind him. Freed from the expectation to point fingers and lead protests Bob Dylan created his first full rock album and made folk-rock a quaint thing of the past.

11/05/2005 | I don't worship Dylan, but the song "desolation row" alone makes this album worthwhile. . .

10/06/2005 | Well, maybe I'm weird but I like Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues and Desolation Row the best on this great album.

01/29/2005 | I need a steam shovel, Baby, to keep away the dead. I need a dump truck, Mamma, to unload my head. Dylan--positively no equal.

06/09/2003 | No artist has ever had a more creatively productive two year span. 1965 saw the release of Bring It All Back Home & Highway 61 Revisited. He followed up the impossible with Blonde On Blonde in 1966. These records determined Bob Dylan's musical immortality.

01/16/2003 | Great album. Like a Rolling Stone, Blonde on Blonde, etc. Named after highway 61 north of Duluth Minnesota(Bob's hometown), lets just say it was a smooth ride.

03/16/2002 | Highway 61 revisited is probably the epitomy of Bob Dylan and his peak as a musical artist in his legendary career.

01/30/2001 | Dylan's evolution from wandering folk singer to avante garde rock star. The lyrics are strange and paint more of a picture than a statement. The music is equally interesting with a power that many Dylan fans found disgusting, but proved Dylan only followed to one person, himself.

01/22/2001 | Here's a masterpiece. The first album where he's totally departed from acoustic work. Even "Bringing It All Back Home" was half-acoustic/half-electric, to ease people into his new sound, I'd suppose. But driving on "Highway 61" is a unique electrified experience complete with beautifully confusing lyrics, like "Blonde on Blonde," coming soon after. "Like A Rolling Stone," a ground breaking rock and roll song, along with the rest of the tracks are very well-written. I'm proud to say that I've deciphered "Ballad of a Thin Man" with a little help from a Brian Jones biography. The record is like a series of puzzles. The music on here is just so top-notch.

01/15/2001 | Bob Dylan's trademark gravelly voice and stripped down blues folk/rock approach lend Highway 61 Revisited its rocking background for what Dylan really wants to get across. Songs like "Tombstone Blues" and "Highway 61 Revisited" show Dylan at his witty, quick blues guitar strumming best. This classic album from Dylan is anything but stereotypical folk. It'll have you laughing at his peculiar lines, thinking about his social criticisms, and most of all, groovin' to the blues.

01/10/2001 | "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Queen Jane" are beyond anything he has written before.

11/24/2000 | Bob Dylan is the best songwriter of all time. With classic tracks like, "Rolling Stone" and "Ballad of a Thin Man", and great inspirational cuts like, "Tombstone Blues", this is my favorite Bob Dylan album. He can hit you from any angle and make you feel it.

11/03/2000 | This is Dylan at his absolute best. Even the lesser known songs on this one are steller: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues", "Tombstone Blues", "It Takes a Lot to Laugh...." If you like this, you should pick up the great LIVE 1966 cd that was relesaed in '98.

10/19/2000 | The first Bob Dylan album I ever heard, still my favorite to this day. The collection of songs is great and the individual songs are all crazy and wonderful. A large dose of Bob Dylan's humor comes out in many of the songs and the lyrics are all genius. Buy it. Buy it now.

10/16/2000 | Bob's so good. I love this album. Ballad of a Slim Man's one of my favorites. Feel good, drink a beer, summer music.

10/06/2000 | Basically- Bob Dylan. Just quality compilation as normal. The acoustic guitar is better than even his greatest hits versions and Desolation Row (has 11 minutes of intense action) cannot be applauded enough.

10/04/2000 | Dylan never again reached the musical heights he reached on Highway 61, though he came close. The harmonicas and political lyrics are gone, abandoned for straight-up Rock & Roll and strange stream-of-conciousness lyrics- but it's good. Damn good.
