BOB DYLAN – The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan – CD

Description

CD

With this album Freewheelin‘, Bob Dylan emerged from the cloak of Woody Guthrie and proclaimed his own unique talent. No longer detached – the set was originally entitled Bob Dylan’s Blues – he personalized his songs, famously rejecting four from the final draft in favor of others reflecting his newer muse.

Protest songs were given a wider resonance – the text of “Masters of War” remains sadly relevant decades later – while his love songs are haunting but universal statements. Dylan injected black humor into the talking blues and railed against injustice in all forms, with a perception encompassing the anger of a generation. Freewheelin‘ is a landmark in the development of folk and pop music.
