(*****) May 27, 1963. Second Studio Album.
Wow. In only his second album, Dylan starts with the triple whammy of “Blowin’ in the Wind,” — an all-time classic — “Girl from the North Country” and “Masters of War.” Those three, along with “A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Fall” and “Don’t Think Twice it’s Alright,” can make a career for many singer/songwriters. But the other, lesser-known songs, such as “Oxford Town,” “Corrina, Corrina,” and “Talkin’ World War III Blues,” provide an ebb and flow which make the entire album a mesmerizing listen.
The best of his 1960s work!
For someone this young,(hard to believe Bob Dylan was ever young 🙂 ) to have such an insightful view of the world is genuinely striking.
