The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Alright, here's a few songs I recognize and like! This album overall reminds me of his "s/t" (Am I cool for using this now? "Self Titled," for my future self when I read this years from now and forget what it means).

Blowin' In The Wind gives us a great first sentence to kick off the album: "How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?" I Shall Be Free ends the album on a great final bit too: "Well they asked me why I'm drunk all the time. It levels my head and eases my mind. I just walk along and stroll and sing. I see better days and I do better things. I catch dinosaurs. Make love to Elizabeth Taylor. Catch hell from Richard Burton." Nice way to bookend an album!

Girl From The North Country...interesting take of the Simon and Garfunkel song, though I don't think they called it by this name (Scarborough Fair?). I sung this song for the one real singing class I took in college...and now I'll leave it for the professionals.

Masters Of War, hell yeah. Tell 'em how you really feel, Bob!

Down The Highway has an interesting acoustic guitar strum here in place of the harmonica. These A-A-B blues schemes don't sound like this often. It gets a little repetitive, but it's still fascinating.

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall is my first example that reminds me of Bob Dylan's stereotype of unusual lines that come out of seemingly nowhere. This isn't entirely the stereotype I think of since some of these lines make sense individually, but together I'm not so sure and they tend to feel like they're rambling without a strong rhyme scheme.

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right is my kind of passive-aggressive song. "I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul."

Bob Dylan's first two albums have Bob Dylan in the title: Bob Dylan and the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan also has two songs with Bob Dylan in the title in the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan: Bob Dylan's Blues and Bob Dylan's Dream. BOB BOB DYLAN DYLAN AM I MAKING MY OBSERVATION CLEAR YET?

Hey, touching on race relations on Oxford Town and I Shall Be Free. Nice to see his perspective from this era.

"I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours. I said that." Good way to finish Talkin' World War III Blues.
