Bringing It All Back Home

Fantastic album

For his fifth album, Dylan drives language changes and opens up a whole chasm in the realm of possibilities in his music. He's thinking about the rock and roll that preceded him by entering the studio with his guitar plugged in. Dylan wastes no time with "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and he brightens up as soon as the Chuck Berry beat kicks in. On this edgy piece of electric music and on the Chicago blues stomp of "Outlaw Blues", he carries out the spirit that the best rock and roll is supposed to be and is - untutored, commanding and anarchic. To top those two chestnuts off, comes "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream". He's surely at ease with this set of musicians and they're fast and loud as Dylan wants it. His incorrigible and absurdist jokes poke fun at everything historical and mythical and he stuffs it all into the most raucous rock and roll on the album. He embraces the Beat attitude and style into these songs. It has Allen Ginsberg's and some of William Burroughs' stamp over them. His lighter touch gets time too with the tender and mysterious "Love Minus Zero/No Limit". I believe it's written for Dylan's soon-to-be wife Sara. In it, he presents a microscopic view of his more moving side. But, if that's one side of him, he's not shy in letting it be known there's another side of Bob Dylan on "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". He's consumed with no guilt over a lover that he's spurned. "Strike another match, go start anew" is stunningly transparent and it's too late for him to go back now. "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" is the ultimate response to the eternal pitfalls in the outside world - hypocrisy, greed, power, etc. Every guitar strum counts here in its haunting, rhythmic tone. Its aggression amplifies its apocolyptic visions and, before you know it, you're in the rabbit hole living with it. What this breathtaking record reveals is that Dylan takes music seriously, has a lot of fun with it and puts both these things into action. The album cover photo is absolutely classic as the music itself. The red, white and blue dominate to emphasize the title. Not even a highbrow audience can dampen the adventure in "Bringing It All Back Home". So, in sum, deal with the electricity.

It’s old Bob Dylan from 1965 just as he was delving into electric. A must own Dylan album.

Bob Dylan, the great alchemist of folk-rock music, was booed at the Newport Folk Festival, and Scorsese's 'No Direction Home' documents the hecklers yelling out "Traitor!" at many concerts. Perhaps like any genius this is the inscrutable, but predictable development for anyone who truly innovates the wheel. 'Bringing It All Back Home' is the culprit that showcases the trajectory of when Bob, the Bard, went electric. Arguably, this album is one of the three best of his entire career. It is perhaps his most innovative, but his achievements have a scope that render the past two assertions needing a huge dose of salt. Heralding the album, "Subterranean Homesick Blues," while not as dramatic as "Like a Rolling Stone" is easily as brilliant. Complete with cutting, social commentary and plenty of images to debunk the nine-to-five existence, Dylan spills out his surreal period full throttle. Anthems rain with the raunchy "Outlaw Blues" and the folky "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)". Hypnotic, every song pulls a punch--or doesn't pull any punches! The most famous mesmerizing development is "Mr. Tambourine Man," making Dylan a troubadour for altered consciousness*. Despite the crossover, Dylan continued to be a great storyteller. The first person "Maggie's Farm" showcases his familiar wit with the details of menial labor from hell. Then, "On the Road Again" captures the same idea, but with more of a vagabond flair. "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" meets every element at the crossroads by telling a surreal story with pointed observations. However, some of the most delightful moments reflect upon love. "She Belongs to Me" and "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" both exalt and debunk the romantic tradition he helped overthrow. "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" ends the album with a brilliant story about a misfit who trashes every sensibility of romantic notions. An unqualified achievement, 'Bringing It All Back Home' synthesizes the outlaw with the dreamer where both folk and rock, tradition and iconoclasm meet head on and make music and culture new. (*Dylan has moved on, and hopefully so can we.)

Highway 61 Revisited gets lotsa fanfare as a breakthrough album (for which it does merit) thanks to the 6 minute intro song Like A Rolling Stone. However, BIABH was Bob's goodbye to the Folkies who couldn't bend their traditional beliefs and give way to electric instruments. This album needs no introduction or another boring review from me. Just listen to it and make up your own mind.

In the process of updating music collection, we jump back and forth in time with each artist. Purchased Dylan's "Together Through Life" was first time hearing his newer voice register...it was a little shocking! After the first time through, that album grew on us. We turned back in time to "Bringing It All Back Home" because we never had this album on vinyl or cassette. Old favorites (along with his old voice) just sound so great. The Subterranean Homesick Blues is classic, loved the Love Minus Zero and finished off with It's All Over Now, Baby Blue. This album should be in any Dylan collection. Don't hesitate to get Love and Theft also, it's more recent with his voice, but I tell ya'...he always sounds great...and do YOU still sound the same after 40 years????

A great piece of art

Produto chegou rápido e muito bem embalado, com toda segurança. E que grande disco esse do Bob Dylan! Joia rara para colecionar.

Este disco lo tengo en vinilo y del uso se ha ido deteriorando y como su precio en vinilo actual es desorbitado por esa moda tan poco entendible de volver al vinilo pues lo he comprado en CD. Tengo una respetable colección de vinilos y CD s y ni un solo archivo digital de música bajada de la red del ruido. Los vinilos se gastan y como les coja la humedad pues cuidado.

ボブディラン懐かしく聴かせて貰いました!ホークからロック調に変わるアルバムで、お気に入りのアルバムです。中古とは、思えない程キレイでした✨

"Bringing It All Back Home" est le 5ème album studio de Bob Dylan. Il a été enregistré du 13 au 15 janvier 1965 et a été publié le 22 mars 1965. La sortie de cet album provoque un énorme coup de tonnerre dans le paysage musical, car Dylan, le troubadour du Folk Song contestataire, le porte drapeau de toute une génération, électrifie sa guitare. Ses fans sont horrifiés et le considère comme un vulgaire traître. Pour la 1ère fois, Dylan a enregistré le disque accompagné d'un vrai groupe de Rock et cela s'entend. Dés le 1er morceau ça démarre pied au plancher avec "Subterranean Homesick Blues" et son clip devenu mythique, c'est un rhythm'n'blues aride bourré d'amphétamines qui poignarde en plein cœur le rêve américain, Bob Dylan y rappe plus qu'il ne chante et la dureté de ses paroles font autant de dégâts que ses anciennes chansons contestataires. On peut considérer aujourd'hui que "Subterranean Homesick Blues" n'était rien de moins que le premier rap de l'histoire de la musique. "On The Road Again", "Maggie's Farm" et "Outlaw Blues" sont dans la même veine, c'est à dire très Rock. Mais le "Zim" n'oublie pas de signer de sublimes ballades comme "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" et "She Belongs to Me" qui sont de toute beauté. Bobby ralentit la cadence avec des titres plus minimalistes et imparables dont le bijou "Mr Tambourine man" avec laquelle les Byrds connaitront un sucés interplanétaire . L'album se termine avec 2 chansons qui restent parmi les plus belles de Dylan, "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" et surtout "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" où Bob utilise ses premières armes (guitare acoustique et harmonica). Les 11 morceaux de "Bringing It All Back Home" proposent un aperçu de l'héritage musical et culturel que Bob Dylan assume et va transcender : du Blues, du Folk et du Rock, enregistrés dans une perspective nouvelle et qui influencera la quasi-totalité de ses contemporains. Et ce n'est que le premier chef-d'œuvre de la "Trilogie Magique" de Dylan....... Retrouvez Bob Dylan et bien d'autres sur Le Deblocnot': ledeblocnot.blogspot.com
