Sometimes simple is better, a powerful album.......2007-04-07
I must admit that I'm one of those people that just didn't get Dylan. I liked many of his songs but actually prefered the cover versions to the originals and being more into the music rather than the lyrics, really didn't see what the fuss was about. Well I've gone back and revisited Bob and now I get it, both his folk flavored material and his band oriented works.
On The Times They Are A-Changeing Dylan manages with just acoustic guitar, occasional harmonica and Bob's ragged voice, to make one of his most powerfully emotional albums. Perhaps the darkest of his career, certainly the starkest and it's just beautiful. Beautiful in it's simplicity and beautiful in the directness of the oftimes sad and timeless stories he tells.This is Dylan's most overt protest album, quietly yet powerfully raging against social injustice. Now while I very much like Dylan's band oriented material such as Highway 61 Revisited or Desire or Blonde On Blonde this album, Dylan's third, is a distilled essence of pure Dylan. There arn't any frills or fat, no drums or overdubs. It's just Bob and has become my favorite album by him.
With God on our side.......2007-04-05
This album was originally released in 1964 and the messages are as true today as they were then. The third title in this album, "With God on our side", was never included on any of the Greatest Hits releases, and its only other release was in a 1995 live album. It is sad to note that the civil rights activism and anti war passions of the 60's do not exist today. Everyone needs to listen to this song especially the political leaders of the world. The last verse of the song is the most memorable:
"So now as I'm Leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war"
A darker side of Bob Dylan.......2007-01-11
Dylan's third album finds him writing songs with a heavily political bent, taking ideas from newspapers and setting them to old and new folk melodies. Though it lacks some of "Freewheeling"s light-hearted moments, "Times" comes across as more mature, often more emotionally moving, and darker. The title track became a Dylan anthem and concert staple. "Ballad Of Hollis Brown" is one of my personal favorites--the folk guitar and brooding story are perfect, with a clever ending. "One Too Many Mornings" is a bit darker on this disc than on "Nashville Skyline," but is also folkier. "Boots Of Spanish Leather" is an excellent and touching love song. "Hattie Carrol" is one of Dylan's most famous newspaper songs, and stirs feelings of racism and the fallibility of the justice system. The closer is somber and characteristic of the whole album, but I like the whole thing. Dylan's voice is good (better than on "Another Side of Bob Dylan") and the songs fit well together in the album's scheme. This is Dylan's last protest album, and sees Dylan at the top of his protest period. Recommended if you like acoustic folk, and suggested that you take a few listens to let it really sink in!
Classic Dylan and one of the best albums from the 1960s.......2007-01-07
This is one of the great albums from Dylan's first decade. The title tune should be in any Hall of Fame for American music of the last half of the 20th century.
"The Time They Are A-Changin'" is a song that speaks to the crosscutting debates of the 1960s. It provides voice for one perspective. But so, too, do other of the songs on this CD. "Ballad of Hollis Brown" and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" can still bring anger, produce a sense of unfairness. "With God on Our Side" is a powerful statement regarding the manner in which religion can make some people feel superior to others, with whatever relevant God is on their side. "Only a Pawn in Their Game" suggests the reality of an elite manipulating the mass of people; whether or not one agree with the theme, the argument is well portrayed. So, too, "North Country Blues" has a statement to make.
There are, in addition, softer tunes, such as "One Too Many Mornings" and "Boots of Spanish Leather."
All in all, a must buy for those wanting to understand the full body of Bob Dylan's work. Perhaps the best of his pre-electric corpus.
Mandatory listening for all Americans........2007-01-06
A perfect album that was written way before my time, but still is absolutely relevant in every way today. Politics, Race, War, Employment, Depression, every topic is hear and clear.

Three Masterpieces.......2006-09-04
These three records are masterpieces by anyone's opinion and are perhaps Dylan's best work. He was young and he was so good.
-- The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan --
Freewheelin' is Bob Dylan's second record. While his first was an album of mostly folk song covers with only two originals, this record had only two covers, the rest being originals and some of Bob Dylan's finest work. "Girl From the North Country" is one of my favorite songs, by anybody, and to think it was written by a twenty-one-year-old kid, almost half a century ago, way back in 1963.
"Master's of War" still seems valid today. Re, those masters of war, those seller's of guns, "There is one thing I know, though I'm younger than you, that even Jesus would never forgive what you do." Yet, despite those words that moved so many, all these years later the masters of war are still plying their trade. And, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention "Blowin' in the Wind," perhaps the best antiwar song ever written. Dylan asks nine questions about war and freedom, the answers to all of them, I'm afraid are, "Blowin' in the Wind."
-- The Times they are a-Changin' --
The opening track, "The Times they are a-Changin'" is a call to arms. It was heeded in the Sixties when the streets were filled with protesters, kids who wanted an end to the war in Vietnam. Dylan has sung this song countless times over the years, talking about the battle that is outside raging, but somehow we've forgotten this message, though we sing the words with Dylan at almost every concert he's given on his never ending tour. Sadly there are almost no protesters today. And it seems if one does raise a voice, bad things could happen to him.
Lord, I have to wonder if God ever was on our side. Bob Dylan doesn't think he was, but there are so many today who are convinced he is, maybe they should listen to this record. At least we've done something about the horrible racism Dylan sings about on "Only a Pawn in Their Game" and the haunting "Ballad of Hollis Brown," but we have a long way to go. I think all those people who are so against those who only want to better themselves by coming to America should be forced to sit down and listen to this record. That's what I think.
-- Another Side of Bob Dylan --
For me "Another Side" is all about "The Chimes of Freedom." Yes there are several other good songs on this record that marks a change for Bob Dylan from his so called "Protest Period" to a darker, deeper, more poetic kind of music. Poetry, Dylan had become a poet and to all of those who think there are hidden meaning in his words I have to say, "No, I don't think so." I think Dylan put it all out there, said what he meant and meant what he said. No hidden meanings, no secrets implied, but who needs 'em. "Chimes of Freedom" says enough, says if for a generation, for generations.
"Tolling for the Rebel, tolling for the rake, tolling for the luckless, the abandoned and the forsaked." What words, what power from this twenty-three-year-old singer who was already tired of leading a movement. Still, try as he might, he was the one the youth of his time looked up to, listened to, wanted to follow, but Dylan wasn't leading. Just imagine what this world might be like today if he had been. Maybe some of those misdemeanor outlaws who wound up in the White House might have been sidelined where they belonged. Ah, well, we'll never know.
Still, this is one fine record. "To Ramona" is one of the best songs ever written, the poetry so divine in this dark song. "It grieves my heart love, to see ya trying to be a part of a world that just don't exist." It's like he's singing about me, way before I was born, because I sure want to be a part of that world that doesn't exist. Ah, I was so much older than, older yesterday even. It's so sad sometimes, because like Dylan says, they "hype you and type you in making you feel that you gotta be just like them." I know I'm not making much sense, but get this record. Don't be like them, just do what you think you should do.
Three of a Young Poet's Best Records.......2006-08-27
"Freewheelin'" is Bob Dylan's second album, but it's the one that made him known to the general public at large. He penned most of the songs on the record, including the famous, "Blowing in the Wind," a song that would live on for generations. Also included on this record is the very long and very good, "A Hard Rain Must Fall," which tells the story of a man asking his young son questions. The answers, if you listen to them, will really move you and get you to asking a lot of questions yourself. "Girl From the North Country" is a terrific song where a young and soulful Bob Dylan asks anybody traveling to the North Country if they'd remember him to a girl who lives there. I can't help it, I picture a coal miner's daughter. Even back then, Bob Dylan was a poet who could grab you and make you think with his words.
"The Times They Are a-Changin'" is one young man's rage against how things are going in America back in the '60s and the song still rings true today. We still have war and corrupt politicians and parents who will never understand their sons and daughters. I guess some things never change. "With God on Our Side," is a long song about war that also is relevant today, it just needs a verse about Iraq at the end of it. This is an album that is impossible to listen to without wanting to get up and do something about the state of affairs in the world today.
"Another Side" is one of my favorite Dylan albums. I must confess, I really, really like his early stuff. I love the anger in his voice back then. Yes the stuff that comes later is very good, especially "Blood on the Tracks" which kind of reminds me of "Another Side" in a lot of ways, but this record, the last acoustic record Dylan will do for a very long time, is something very special. "Chimes of Freedom" is my favorite all time Dylan song and like "The Times They Are A-Changing," it still has meaning today. It Ain't Me Babe" is sort of like a love song in reverse and you can't help but love it.
These are three of a young poet's best records and they are three records any and every Dylan fan or wannabe Dylan fan or anybody else in the world, for that matter, should own.
Every Word is Significant, Important.......2006-06-02
Fortunately we've not come to the World War Bob Dylan sings about in "Talking World War III" on "Freewheelin'", but in today's times you have to wonder do you need a shotgun and a fall out shelter. Another song full of poetry is "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" of course everybody's who's anybody has heard this song, if not on this record, then the haunting version done during "The Concert for Bangledesh." Dylan has done so many excellent versions of this throughout the years, especially that version done with the Japanese orchestra, but this version is Bob Dylan raw and raging. Like "Masters of War" the song was topical then and it's topical now. It's just too danged bad that "All of the people can't be all right all of the time." But you can be right some of the time and that's good enough. Get this record, you'll be glad you did.
"The Times They Are A-Changing" the title song of the second album in this set is a song that will have you questioning your values, questioning your complacency. "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" will just plain make you mad. "North Country Blues" will make you weep for the coal minors and iron workers and those less fortunate. And "With God on Our Side" A song that Bob Dylan used to perform with Joan Baez a lot a long time ago will make you think. Every word in these songs is significant, every word important. This is another of those Bob Dylan records everybody should own. It should be like a rule.
I cannot describe the words and imagery conjured up on "Another Side" by Bob Dylan in the song, "The Chimes of Freedom." This is certainly on of the best songs, he or anyone has ever penned. You can find as much or as little in this song about America then and now, yourself then and now, things too numerous to mention walk through the phrases, words fail me, but they didn't fail the young Bob Dylan. Get this record, play this song, you'll see what I'm talking about. "I Shall Be Free No. 10" is a humorous rendition of Dylan's view of America. Some of the images and people mention might not be known by the children or grandchildren of the Boomers, but you can Google Barry Goldwater and the like if you want to get this funny song. At times, because Dylan goes between humor, protest and love songs, this record might seem a little uneven, because, for example, you're still laughing at "Motorpsycho Nitemare" when all of a sudden you're jerked right into the very serious, "My Back Pages." Didn't we all know more than our parents, weren't we all so much older then.
Many Sides of Bob Dylan.......2006-06-02
My favorite song on "Freewheelin'" is one Bob Dylan didn't right. But he delivers "Corina, Corina" with such a heartfelt manner that he truly makes it one of his own. And the thumping, haunting base backup just pulls you right into the song, makes you believe every word of the lyrics. He just can't keep from crying in that song and I just can't keep from crying when I hear it. However, as much as I love "Corina, Corina," and "Girl from the North Country" too, I recognize that those are not the songs that made this such the ground breaking record that it is. It's "Blowing in the Wind", "Masters of War", "A Hard Rain's a Gonna Fall", "Talkin' WW III Blues" and "Oxford Town", songs that talk of war and racism, songs that moved a generation, they are the heart and soul of this masterpiece.
Everybody knows about and has heard "The Times They are A-Changin," one of Bob Dylan's biggest hits. And everybody knows he had a protest period and that this record came out smack in the middle of it. But what they may not know is that there are a songs about love and loss on this album that will tear your heart out. Bob Dylan then as now was a master of words. Probably the greatest wordsmith of his generation, mine too. And then there is that song that is impossible to define "The Hour that the Ship Comes in." It is just simply to good for words, powerful, I can say that. Very powerful. But my favorite song here is "One too Many Mornings." It gets a tear or two from me every time I hear it.
There are so many sides to "Another Side" that I hardly know where to begin, other than to say that I absolutely loved it. There is a lot to learn here about the times then and how they haven't really changed all that much, but you get that a lot in early Dylan records. Also, traveling salesmen should never, ever take a shower with the farmer's daughter. How could you not like a song where a farmer accuses a salesman of being an "unpatriotic, rotten, doctor, commie rat." Then of course there is the haunting, "To Ramona," the prophetic "Chimes of Freedom" and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention "I Don't Believe You," a song about a lad who has been recently dumped, but can't get over the girl even though "She acts like we never have met." I'm not very fond of "All I Really Want to Do." For some reason I keep picturing Sonny and Cher when I hear this song. I loved all the other stuff on the record though. There are many sides of Dylan here, his protest songs, which we won't be seeing very many more of after this record. His humor, which we well see more of later on. His piano playing, which also we'll be seeing more of and his ability to turn out a love song, which we will certainly be seeing more of.
Three Superb Early Dylan Records,.......2006-06-02
"Freewheelin'" is The Beginning of Dylan's Protest Period. -- First a hit for Peter, Paul and Mary and sung by zillions of protest folkies, "Blowin' in the Wind" the lead off song on this album is best enjoyed when listened to by it's creator. PP & M, though they do the song well, are just a bit too much to fortish for my blood. This album, to my way of thinking is the start of Bob Dylan's so called protest period. Actually, I've heard a recording where Dylan himself refers to this time in his life as his, "So called Protest Period." Another example of this is "Masters of War" a song that was so right for the `60s and has been rearranged time and again throughout Dylan's career and sadly, is as right today as it was then. Like Mr. Dylan, we can all was, when will we ever learn. This record will help.
"The Times They Are a Changin'" is one of the Most Important Records to Ever Come Out. -- "Come Senators and Congressmen please heed the call and get out of the doorway if you can't lend a hand, for the times they are a changin'." Powerful words, but sadly the times didn't change all that much. We still have war. Medicine still isn't free. They still put you in jail for smoking a joint. Politics is still corrupt. What's changed? The Baby Boomers blew it. The title song for this record is as relevant today as it was when Bob Dylan first sang it. He's still singing it. Is everybody deaf? Have the Boomers turned into their parents? Anyway, regardless of all of the above, this is a dynamic song on a dynamic record. One of the most important records to every come out. Everybody should own this.
"Another Side" is, as my friend Sara is so fond of saying, still relevant after all these years. -- I read somewhere that this record was recorded in one night while Dylan and crew were drinking cheap wine. I don't know if that's true, but I have to admit sometimes on this record Dylan does sound like he'd been drinking a bit, especially during "All I Really Want to Do" and Dylan's piano playing on the record does remind me a bit of Honky Tonk, the sort of thing you might find in an old western salon. Still, it's a great album that showcase's not only Dylan's piano playing, but his humor as well, which you can see in "Motorpsycho Nitemare." And if you've got a free seven minutes or so, you should give them up and give a good listen to "Chimes of Freedom" a song that's like so many of Dylan's songs, as relevant now as it was back then.

One of the darkest of Dylan albums, Times is the work of a 22-year-old who sounds no less sick of it all than the ailing 55-year-old who made Time out of Mind. There's a place here for rousing protests such as the title track and "When the Ship Comes In," but those songs are outnumbered by the equally powerful, drainingly pessimistic likes of "Only a Pawn in Their Game," "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," and "The Ballad of Hollis Brown." It's as if Dylan had to deliver his grimmest topical material before moving on to Another Side's liberation and laughs. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
My favorite Bob album of all time..........2007-03-13
was also the first one I purchased, although it was his third release. It is dark, depressing in spots, bleak and bitter, but oh, so powerful back in 1963! Buying Dylan back then,even for a college sophomore was kind of a radical act in my somewhat racist family. We were lifelong denizens of New Jersey, but uncomfortable with all the civil rights agitation just the same. I bought the record because I had seen Bob perform "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" on the Steve Allen late-night TV variety show. To find out what made Dylan famous BEFORE he went to electrified rock, get this item.
10.0/10.0.......2006-12-15
This is the greatest album ever recorded.
Unfortunately, I now find myself having to back off that that original statement: I haven't listened to every work of recorded music in history. In fact, I haven't even listened to most of all that music. I own a modest collection of about 110 compact discs, spanning tastes that are both predictable and eccentric (from Belle & Sebastian's Tigermilk to Felix Mendelssohn's complete music for cello). But while the first sentence in this review may sound a bit too scientific, too factual, it does not change where the music lies in my mind. Let me explain to you why I feel so certain.
The control of metaphor, the directness of the theme, and the obvious genius of the song structures on this album could not ever be exceeded. When Bob Dylan created this album, he created a work of music that was transcendent in its lyrical quality. Paired with that is a brilliant, minimalist, textured aural quality that backs his words.
The emotions involved in Dylan's opus here could not be more compelling; they are at once the corralling of sorrow, desperation, and reckless hope within the human spirit. But the emotion is not lawless or implosive here; they are steered by the themes Dylan wishes to present his audience: ultimately, human choice, surrounded with its questions of free will, destiny, good and evil.
The singer's vocals are capable of conveying weary misery and overweening, sarcastic pride ("you got more than the blacks, don't complain / you're better than them! / You've been born with white skin, they explain.")
Sure, the album will be considered "protest"-ant, since, at times on this album, he does undermine the social establishment from within its own mores (I consider this a kind of socially progressive parody). But it's so much more than that, and no one who's really listened to this whole thing will call it a "protest album;" this is no concept album. It expresses the darkness of being a human being, and in so doing, illuminates the experience for the listeners. Notice the technique on "Boots of Spanish Leather" where lovers are distraught and torn from one another: essentially it is a situation of misfortune. But when listened to, it becomes a celebration of lovers.
The album is brimming with searing, tender emotion and beautiful imagery, and questions that cannot be answered quickly. A moment in time is sealed in this music: a moment of authenticity and fervor and peace all exquisitely arranged to strike at once. A piece of honesty that is transformative is caught in here. Listen to it carefully and closely, and hold it in your mind a long, long, time.
Everybody Should be Free.......2006-09-04
The opening track, "The Times they are a-Changin'" is a call to arms. It was heeded in the Sixties when the streets were filled with protesters, kids who wanted an end to the war in Vietnam. Dylan has sung this song countless times over the years, talking about the battle that is outside raging, but somehow we've forgotten this message, though we sing the words with Dylan at almost every concert he's given on his never ending tour. Sadly there are almost no protesters today. And it seems if one does raise a voice, bad things could happen to him.
Lord, I have to wonder if God ever was on our side. Bob Dylan doesn't think he was, but there are so many today who are convinced he is, maybe they should listen to this record. At least we've done something about the horrible racism Dylan sings about on "Only a Pawn in Their Game" and the haunting "Ballad of Hollis Brown," but we have a long way to go. I think all those people who are so against those who only want to better themselves by coming to America should be forced to sit down and listen to this record. That's what I think.
This Album Still Has Meaning Today.......2006-08-24
"The Times They Are a-Changin'" is one young man's rage against how things are going in America back in the '60s and the song still rings true today. We still have war and corrupt politicians and parents who will never understand their sons and daughters. I guess some things never change. "With God on Our Side," is a long song about war that also is relevant today, it just needs a verse about Iraq at the end of it. This is an album that is impossible to listen to without wanting to get up and do something about the state of affairs in the world today.
very good.......2006-06-13
bob has just his voice,guitar and harmonica on this one.its one his earlier albums.the first song is the best one as he fights the man .the second song"ballad of hollis brown" us utterly depressing as a starving man kills his starving family and then himself."with god on our side" openly challeneges christianity.this was before,of course,he converted."only a pawn in thier game" sticks it to the man again.then a pretty love song comes by called "boots of spanish leather".then theres a few more songs here and there for filler.this is one of the early albums that got him his title as the voice of a generation.and after hearing it i would agree.

Product Description
This album was recorded in 1966 in London's famed Abbey Road Studios under the production/direction of Alan Lorber with soloists and members of the London Symphony Orchestra and the Ted Heath Band. Reissued for the first time, this collection brings to life Lorber's orchestration concept of intepreting Dylan's original phrasing of these songs by solo instrumentalists and orchestra in the spirit of the times, those times that were truly changing. With today's resurgence of Dylan music and a new Broadway presentation of his works, this recording stands as an added dimension to the Dylan discography.

Everybody Should be Free.......2006-09-04
The opening track, "The Times they are a-Changin'" is a call to arms. It was heeded in the Sixties when the streets were filled with protesters, kids who wanted an end to the war in Vietnam. Dylan has sung this song countless times over the years, talking about the battle that is outside raging, but somehow we've forgotten this message, though we sing the words with Dylan at almost every concert he's given on his never ending tour. Sadly there are almost no protesters today. And it seems if one does raise a voice, bad things could happen to him.
Lord, I have to wonder if God ever was on our side. Bob Dylan doesn't think he was, but there are so many today who are convinced he is, maybe they should listen to this record. At least we've done something about the horrible racism Dylan sings about on "Only a Pawn in Their Game" and the haunting "Ballad of Hollis Brown," but we have a long way to go. I think all those people who are so against those who only want to better themselves by coming to America should be forced to sit down and listen to this record. That's what I think.
This Album Still Has Meaning Today.......2006-08-24
"The Times They Are a-Changin'" is one young man's rage against how things are going in America back in the '60s and the song still rings true today. We still have war and corrupt politicians and parents who will never understand their sons and daughters. I guess some things never change. "With God on Our Side," is a long song about war that also is relevant today, it just needs a verse about Iraq at the end of it. This is an album that is impossible to listen to without wanting to get up and do something about the state of affairs in the world today.
A Protest Record with some Great Love Songs too.......2006-04-03
Everybody knows about and has heard "The Times They are A-Changin," one of Bob Dylan's biggest hits. And everybody knows he had a protest period and that this record came out smack in the middle of it. But what they may not know is that there are a songs about love and loss on this album that will tear your heart out. Bob Dylan then as now was a master of words. Probably the greatest wordsmith of his generation, mine too. And then there is that song that is impossible to define "The Hour that the Ship Comes in." It is just simply to good for words, powerful, I can say that. Very powerful. But my favorite song here is "One too Many Mornings." It gets a tear or two from me every time I hear it.
Every Word is Significant, Important.......2006-04-03
"The Times They Are A-Changing" the title song of the album is a song that will have you questioning your values, questioning your complacency. "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" will just plain make you mad. "North Country Blues" will make you weep for the coal minors and iron workers and those less fortunate. And "With God on Our Side" A song that Bob Dylan used to perform with Joan Baez a lot a long time ago will make you think. Every word in these songs is significant, every word important. This is another of those Bob Dylan records everybody should own. It should be like a rule.
Greatest Protest Record of All Time.......2006-04-03
From "Times They are A-Changin'" to "Hollis Brown," to the long and excellent "With God on Our Side", this is a protest record thru and thru. It's sort of a call to arms. "Get up, do something, make a difference," this record seems to be crying out. We should listen. Bob Dylan, with his work, has made a difference. This record is proof of that.
