New
Musical Express (10/02/1993)
Ranked #48 in NME's list of the Greatest Albums Of All
Time.
He was roundly booed at both the Newport Folk Festival and
the Royal Albert Hall. Yet here is one of those moments of
cross-influence that changed the course of popular music.
BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME gave His Bobness an audience on
a plate; it was a massive breakthrough. An album of two
different sides, acoustic (his past) and electric (his
future), the music--covered a thousandfold - has among it
Maggie's Farm, Subterranean Home Sick Blues, Mr.
Tambourine Man, Love Minus Zero, and the cosmopolitan
political speak of It's Alright, Ma. You can debate the
`is it folk or is it rock' argument for ever. It is
irrelevant, it is merely Dylan at one of his many peaks.
