This
collection anthologizes the work of one of the most
important musical innovators of the 20th Century. As
daunting a task as that might seem, it's pretty hard to go
wrong with such a wealth of material to choose from. This
album covers many sides of Dylan's mercurial muse, from
the good-timey New Orleans funeral-march feel of
"Rainy Day Women, #12 & 35" to cutting
protest songs like "Blowin' In The Wind" and the
groundbreaking mother of all put-down songs, "Like A
Rolling Stone." The songs collected here amount to a
primer on the changing face of popular song form in
post-Elvis America. Required listening.
