This is probably my favorite protest album I’ve ever listened to. With songs like The Times They Are-a Changin’, Only a Pawn in Their Game, and The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, the whole message of this great piece of work is made.

Going electric was definitely the biggest decision in Bob's career, and he nailed it terrifically. Truly a wonderful standalone album in its entirety, a personal fan favorite of mine. I send my greatest love ... read more
