Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 337/500!
Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the February 2004 Issue of Stereophile!
Ranking near the top of anyone's list of Dylan's masterpieces, this post-motorcycle-accident career-turning-point finds Dylan veering from the razor-edged desperation of "All Along The Watchtower" to the gentle, back-porch sway of "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"--and all points in between. Back at last, in its ultra-rare original mono mix, this landmark LP--cut with the cream of Nashville's studio cats and generally credited as a blueprint for the era's country-rock movement--sizzles on Sundazed High Quality 180 gram vinyl.
"Recovering from his 1966 motorcycle crash, Dylan took a left turn into country music, connecting to Nashville through a host of characters from the Bible and America's rugged history. And with "All Along the Watchtower," he may have written the most ominous rock song ever." - www.rollingstone.com
