Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits [Remaster]

Performer: Bob Dylan
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: Personnel includes: Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars). Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards). Photographer: Roland Scherman. Released in 1967, this collection anthologizes the best early 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 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.

Dirty Linen (10-11/99, p.81) - "...contains 10 masterful Dylan songs....absolutely essential for any record collection, and budget priced to boot..."

Bob Dylan began as a Woody Guthrie acolyte, imitating the dust-bowl balladeer as faithfully as a baby boomer from Hibbing, Minnesota, could. It wasn't long before he found his own voice, spearheading the early-1960s folk revival as well as the singer-songwriter movement, and introducing poetry into pop music. Through countless changes in sound, image, and even religion, he retained his unique artistic vision even when his popularity occasionally waned. By the 21st century, he was enjoying an upsurge of critical and popular interest based on a series of powerful late-career albums that crystallized his aesthetics and unique world view.
