Highway 61 Revisited

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Dylan was virtually gushing great songs when this masterpiece arrived in the summer of 1965. From the epochal opening of "Like a Rolling Stone" through the absurdly apocalyptic closer, "Desolation Row," his command of surrealistic language was daring and amazing. As a vocalist, he was rewriting the rules of the game. Jimi Hendrix made note of Mr. Z's technically suspect pitch and decided that he too was a singer. And the backing, though ragged, is precisely right. Is this the essential Dylan album? It's certainly one of them. --Steven Stolder

there is bob dylan and then there is everybody else.......2007-06-26

this is the absolute TRUTH on REALITY. bob dylan mixes up surrealism, symbolism (from rimbaud)and good old fashioned rock 'n roll to make on of the seminal albums of the lifetime of rock 'n roll. he mixes up a tremendous lyrical beat, wild frenzy and articulated truth in his lyrics to make a classic that will stand the test of time for as long as time goes on. along with blonde on blonde, and bringing it all back home, he reached the absolute pinnacle of describing real reality in poetical terms. in all his later albums, he would never attain this wild greatness again.

As Great as Everybody Says it is. .......2007-06-19

I giggled a little bit when I saw that the 5 star to 4 star ratio for this record was 29 to 1 with no negative ratings whatsoever. Well, there's a very good reason for this imbalance; the perceptions of my fellow critics are totally correct. Yes, Highway 61 revisited is every bit as wonderful as everyone says it is. I'm not sure if I'm qualified to speak about it though as I've only listened to it 123,343 times over a two decade period. I do agree though that in life one quickly discovers that many things are overrated--but not this CD. It is unknown how one could improve on it very much. There's not much better out there unless it's Blonde on Blonde and even then it's close. The tracks here are absolutely seamless and the lyrical brilliance (at the time) was without precedent. If we rate songs on a scale from 1 to 100 I'd have to say that not one of these tunes would merit anything below a 90. Had Dylan only released this CD he would still have been remembered as a genius. The making of Highway was something unknown to me until I saw Martin Scorsese's No Direction Home in which Al Kooper tells the story of the recording sessions, and the interview with him became one of my favorite parts of the documentary. I won't spoil it for you but, for the Dylan fan, you must at least rent it. Hearing about the way Kooper stumbled into immortality is worth five bucks or more. Well, I'll stop raving now but these tracks are Olympian in their proportion.

the proof....even Dylan can't escape the evidence (but oh, how he tries...lol).......2007-03-26

The best and most important Rock and Roll album ever? Yeah, definitely. Blonde on Blonde may have come after, but for me this album was always a distillation of Blonde on Blonde...other people see that album as filling out the ideas on Highway 61, but to me it's just the opposite. I've owned one LP, 2 cassettes and am now on my second CD of this album. (no I'm not an old hippie...born in '64, thank you). Buy it, steal it,...but definitely get it.

A Stunning Masterpiece.......2007-03-17

If there's ever been a better album made in the rock era, I have not heard it. It opens with the landmark "Like a Rolling Stone" and sustains that high level all the way through. Combines various genres of music: rock, folk, blues, Tex Mex, country and the effect is mesmerizing. It's nice to hear Dylan when he could actually carry a tune, and his rich, raspy voice serves the material well. The musicianship is first rate. Especially noteworthy is the blend of organ, guitar and harmonica on several songs. Dylan kept raising the bar with his albums and it never rose higher than w/ this incredible album. Check it out.

incredible.......2007-03-11

this is probably my all time favorite album. its right up there with sgt pepper. the way it is with most dylan cds is i will like half the songs and the other half is just okay...highway 61 revisited...every song is just the best. when i first heard "it takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry" i put my ipod on loop and just listened to that song over and over.

a dylan primer for beginners.......2007-06-27

Just in case someone reading this is new to Dylan, I thought I'd offer some pretty conventional but hopefully useful advice. Start out with the three Dylan albums listed below, all readily and inexpensively available. If these get you hooked, start exploring the others. If not, might I suggest the collections Elvis #1 or the Beatles #1. If none of those do it for you, try Mozart. If Wolfgang leaves you cold too, may God help you.

Anyway, here are those three Dylan albums:
Blood on the Tracks
Blonde on Blonde
Highway 61 Revisited.

Have fun.

absolute greatness.......2007-04-05

I always felt the best way to listen to this album was driving around with the windows down and BLASTING this sucker. Yes, even Desolation Row. Blonde on Blonde was also genius, but this one had such unbridled energy and freedom just pouring out of it, Dylan just sounds so loose and wild with his words whereas Blonde (and the albums after it) seemed more mannered and deliberately "poetic." This one is definitely a "deserted island" one for me---it would be in my top 10 albums to have with me if I was ever lost at sea. Long live Bob!

A Benchmark in Music History - RS 500 #4.......2007-03-03

This is a truly defining moment in the history of popular music. Until this album, there was a gigantic stone wall that divided rock and roll from folk. Rock had invaded many other genres, such as bluegrass, the blues, reggae and even swing. But folk had remained the private domain of coffee houses and protest singers in the vein of Woody Guthrie. The thing is, rock and roll had precious little to say, miring itself in songs about light topics like teenage rebellion, puppy love and the romance of fast cars or surfboards. Dylan by this time had emerged as the elite among folk singers, with songs like "Blowin' In The Wind", "The Times They Are A-Changin'" and "Masters Of War" on his resume. To say the risk to go electric would be large supremely understates the fact. But Dylan decided that this was the moment for his big step, and he did so with a bang. "Like A Rolling Stone" is regarded as one of the greatest songs of all time in any genre; it's a cultural landmark, and it successfully bridged the gap between rock and folk by pushing folk music to a new generation. But most important of all, rock was now free to speak about topics that it previously couldn't touch, and the artistic freedom would trickle down through artist like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, U2, R.E.M. and Nirvana, just to name a few. There are perhaps a dozen critical junctures in the growth of music in the twentieth century - and this was surely one of them.

AWWWWWW YEAH!!!!!.......2007-02-02

LIKE A ROLLING STONE and doggone TOMBSTONE BLUES, MAN!!!! worth getting...........uncompromising songs..................a vibe of freedom...........goes against the grain...........love albums like this............period!!!!! his voice is just one of those things!!!!! hell, it's dylan!!!!!

Dylan Exposes Society.......2006-11-10

It seemed as if even when Dylan went to the bathroom people would listen for sounds and try to find meaning in them. He kept repeating that his words meant nothing but nobody would accept that answer, everything has to have meaning. But, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar (Somebody else said that). The true phenomenon is that Dylan had the power to make us believe there was more. He exposed the plastic society that he lives in by just being himself. With this album he lit a fire under the folk music stage and gave lots of people some hot feet. He is the ultimate rebel without a cause. The opening lyrics to Highway 61 are classic mental slapstick.

Blistering Images in Rhyme.......2006-08-27

This is Bob Dylan at his very finest and this is probably his best record, from "Like a Rolling Stone" to the album's closer, "Desolation Row," the listener is assaulted with blistering images in rhyme that she will never forget. Dylan changed the shape of the musical landscape with this record, changed rock and roll forever. His songs broke the three minute mold, they weren't about love and love lost anymore. In fact some of them are darned hard to understand, but they stay with you none the less. Bob Dylan was, and is, the poet laureate of Rock and Roll, the poet laureate of America. Love after we're all gone, his lyrics will be sung, recited, read.

The Sun's not yellow, it's chicken!.......2006-05-21

This album has everything!

Best story song: "Like a Rolling Stone"

Most rockin' song: "Tombstone Blues"

Most bluesy song: "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry"

Most poppy song: "From a Buick 6"

Most haunting song: "Ballad of a Thin Man"

Most druggy song: "Queen Jane Approximately"

Funniest song: "Highway 61 Revisited"

Most witty song: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"

Best lyrics: "Desolation Row"

See, there. It's the best album ever!

I Love this Record.......2006-04-02

"Like a Rolling Stone" the first song on HIGHWAY 61 grabs you right from the getgo and this album does not let go till the last guitar lick in "Desolation Row" and in between there are some of the best rock and roll you are ever going to listen too. It seems like the band has been playing together forever, though from what I've read of how Bob Dylan makes records, they probably just got together, did a few run throughs, then bang, they probably cut the record. Well, they did great, this record not only stands the test of time, it will never get old.

Gone are the Protest Songs on this Rockin' Rocker.......2006-04-02

It must have been hard for the Dylan faithful to make the switch from folk to rock. He didn't make it as easy as Steve Jobs apparently has done with the switch to the new Intel processor in his new Macs. However he set the world on fire with "Like a Rolling Stone." Al Kooper's keyboards are nothing short of haunting. I've heard Dylan do this song on countless live tapes and in person a few times, but never have I heard him approach the power he does on this record with this song. "Like a Rolling Stone" is followed by "Tombstone Blues" more shear rock and roll music and this time it's piled on top of beautiful poetry. Next up comes my favorite song on the record, "It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry" more raw power. And the record goes on in that vein, ending with the long and very wonderful "Desolation Row." Just wonderful. Wait, I already said that. Well now I'm saying it again.

The Whole Album is a Rocker Extrodinaire.......2006-04-02

I just love the lead guitar work on "Desolation Row." That lead guitar punches up Dylan's voice and those surreal lyrics to make this song like no other. I shudder for the whole eleven minutes every time my husband plays this song and he plays it a lot. You can never get tired of this. Mr. Dylan really raised the bar with this one. "Like a Rolling Stone" is a rocker extrodinaire and it goes on for six minutes, which was a big deal when it came out, because most hit records never when over something like three minutes, ten seconds. Dylan really broke the mold with "Stone", opened up the scene for others to record long songs. This is a super CD. One you just have to own.

SOUNDTRACK

This 21-song collection of traditional and original music from the documentary film, Bob Dylan 1975-1981 Rolling Thunder and The Gospel Years, features Dylans former band members Scarlet Rivera (violin), Rob Stoner (bass), Regina McCrary (vocals), and Bruce Langhorne (guitar/tambourine) along with myself and my band, Highway 61 Revisited, The Worlds Only Bob Dylan Tribute Band. Together, we set out together to recreate the magic and passion of the music from Bob Dylans Rolling Thunder and Gospel Years to help bring the film to life. As on Desire, you will hear breathtaking violin work from Scarlet Rivera, and as on Slow Train Coming, Saved, and Shot of Love, you will be moved by Regina McCrarys passionate Gospel voice. Bruce Langhorne, Dylans guitarist and tambourine player from his early albums, plays on most of the tracks, while bassist Rob Stoner contributes original music. I am sure you will agree this historic gathering of Dylans musicians for the film soundtrack has produced some of the finest music youve ever heard. (contains no Bob Dylan songs).

Buy the Original done by the real BOB.

Very good........2004-12-31

Nobody sings Dylan like Dylan. That being said: Joel Gilbert is a great listen. He is (I think) very passionate about what he does. He also directed Documetaries about Dylan (2 that I know of) Check them out: Home Movies Dylan Tour 1966 and Dylan Tours 1966-1974 Through the Camera of Berry Feinstein. He also has another CD of Dylan songs called "Masters of Dylan." He's not Bob but he is very good. Check out www.highway61revisited.com for a great web site.

Why?.......2003-09-10

Why not just get a Dylan album? I could understand maybe seeing them live, but why buy this when you can get the real thing?

Dylan Heaven on Earth!.......2003-06-11

Folks, this is the REAL deal. Joel Gilbert MUST be the luckiest man on earth, to be blessed with the talents to PLAY these songs and do them justice is an amazing gift; but he also has the look, the passion, and the VOICE as well. I have every CD Bob Dylan has ever released, I love DYLAN; THIS cd is a MUST have for any true Dylan fan. The band has an added edge about them with their sound being spot on for the touring Dylan sound I was lucky enough to hear twice last year. Joel is to be commended too in that he gives the fans something from each era of Dylan's rich legacy, complete with the Dylan sneer and cynicism on Like a Rolling Stone. If anything some of the songs have a little more bite thanks to being produced in the here and now. Excellent guitar work and harmonica play. Things Have Changed is personal favorite, and this version is phenomenal. On Hurricane, you can FEEL Joel's anger and outrage. Positively 4th street is another piece of cathartic relief, you can feel the daggers in every word. There is something here for everyone, Flawless musicianship, great songs, excellent production. Try it, you will be glad you did!!

Stan Ridgway is the music world's version of a character actor. With his barker's phrasing and sardonic demeanor, he's like the instantly identifiable second banana who brightens the screen for a few minutes before the leading man steps back to the fore. Of course, Ridgway has the same predicament as any good character actor: he's typecast. They remember that yapping voice from his early '80s Wall of Voodoo hits "Mexican Radio" and "Ring of Fire," and it's such a distinctive instrument that his identity has been frozen in time. Black Diamond is Ridgway's conscious effort to stretch out and break ties with his history. A low-budget affair, it finds the Southern California singer stripping down to spare guitar, keyboards, and percussion, in the process placing greater emphasis on his songs. Certainly "Luther Played Guitar" and "Wild Bill Donovan" don't fit with Ridgway's new wave past. The former finds the singer inhabiting the mind of Johnny Cash as he wistfully recalls his early sideman Luther Perkins. The latter is a one-part Warren Zevon tirade, one-part Bob Dylan folk ballad chronicling the exploits of one of America's seminal spies. Speaking of Dylan, Ridgway revives "As I Went Out One Morning" from John Wesley Harding, giving a refined reading to an intriguingly cryptic but seldom-covered song. "Gone the Distance" is yet another Kurt Cobain elegy. The kind of album that slips through the cracks, Black Diamond nevertheless indicates Ridgway's best work may yet lie ahead, even if he may be destined to be the rock & roll Warren Oates. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

What Are You Waiting For? Buy This CD, and Spread the Word.......2003-03-05

Stan Ridgway is one of those "special" artists -- you know, the ones nobody's quite sure they've heard of, but people familiar with him just kind of wink, saying: I've been there.

SR is film, he's music, he's literature, he's Johnny Cash and Rod Serling and Ennio Morricone and all sorts of other things all rolled into one. If Harry Dean Stanton wrote tunes, he'd be Stan Ridgway. If L.A. Confidential were a person, he'd be Stan Ridgway.

Every album Stan's done is the best album he's ever done. They're addictive, they're good driving music, and some stuff, particularly on this CD and on the Drywall: Work the Dumb Oracle CD, will make you feel just a little uncomfortable to be living in this day and age.

Underneath it all, Stan is a stunningly original talent. This is a fantastic CD.

Okay? Buy it. Just buy it. If you don't like it, who knows? Maybe you're not living on the right planet (or maybe you are, and you just don't know it yet).

Heard "Big Dumb Town", Got "BLACK DIAMONDS" ALL tracks great.......1999-11-07

My first exposure to Stan Ridgway was hearing "Big Dumb Town" on a local station, it reminded me of a friend of mine.Had to have the song, Now, how many times have you got a CD because you heard one song and you don't care for the rest of the tracks? Not so with "BLACK DIAMONDS". What a pleasant surprize,every song is great! The only CD I have that no programing is nesessary, just run as is, that is if you can stay off the repeat button! Sincerly, every track is a favorite now."Knife and Fork" is very popular with the ladies.Everyone I've shared "BLACK DIAMONDS with is all like "Stuck to you like crazy glue".

Ridgway Press Clips.......1999-10-11

Some things people have said about Stan Ridgway....

"Stan Ridgway is equal parts Raymond Chandler and John Huston, Rod Serling and Johnny Cash. Haunted by America's pulp serial past, Ridgway has become his own wireless theater, with a cast of thousands at his fingertips and a wealth of tales in his head. A rare and famous talent." - The Face

"Some know him just as the long lost singer with the great Wall of Voodoo, others as one of the great unsung maverick geniuses of our time." - Melody Maker

"More noises from America's lost frontier. His songs tell stories that unfold gradually and trade in old fashioned narrative devices like character and suspense. Its a move at once conservative and daring - but, best of all, it works." - Rolling Stone

"Filtered through his sardonically insightful wit, Ridgway's songs become engaging not only for the details he includes, but the ones he chooses not to expose as well." The Austin Chronicle

Great Packaging/Sleeve Design, Great Remastered Sound, Great Album!.......2005-12-05

Having got the SACD hybrid version that I discovered only when I brought it home from the store that it was made in Austria, I thought I'd get the Japanese mini-lp sleeve version to see if I had gotten a bum deal. This version has excellent sound quality and really after seeing the others try, only the Japanese have so far truly mastered the art of making truly great mini-lp replica sleeves that not only look like works of art but also are able to stay in one piece without falling away in tatters like their EU cousins.

As I don't have an SACD player, I can't tell you if the first disc I bought was really worth it but the sound quality is quite close when played on your normal cd player. Given the big price differential and the fact that the one you eventually get from this site will probably NOT be from Austria, you may be better off getting the cheaper version unless you really need to get the mini-lp sleeve. One for the collectors and for diehard fans everywhere.

As soon as I heard it I went to Joel Gilbert's web site (www.highway61revised.com) and found out about his other CD. It's called "The World's Only Bob Dylan Tribute Band" by Highway 61 Revisited. He also directed "Bob Dylan 1966 World , The Home Movies" (DVD) and "Bob Dylan World Tours 1966-1974 Through the Camera Of Barry Feinstein"(www.bobdylan66-74.com -- DVD). Joel Gilbert also wrote "The Acoustic Bob Dylan, His Music Styles and Guitar Techniques." My advise to all Dylan fans: buy this cd and the rest of his items. You will NOT be sorry!
