Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Al Gorgone, John Hammond, Jr., Bruce Langhorne, Kenneth Rankin (guitar); Paul Griffin, Frank Owens (piano); William E. Lee, Joseph Macho, Jr., John Sebastian (bass); Bobby Gregg (drums).
Recorded at Columbia Recording Studios, New York, New York in January 1965. Includes liner notes by Bob Dylan.
Howls of rage greeted Bob Dylan as he presented the world with rock music--he was roundly booed at both the Newport Folk Festival and the Royal Albert Hall. Yet here is one of those moments of cross-influence that changed the course of popular music. BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME gave Dylan an audience on a plate; it was a massive breakthrough. An album of two different sides, acoustic (his past) and electric (his future), it contains milestones in the blues-rockers "Maggie's Farm" and "Subterranean Home Sick Blues," the future Byrds hit "Mr. Tambourine Man," and the transcendently poetic "It's Alright, Ma." You can debate the "is it folk or is it rock" argument forever. It's merely Dylan at one of his many peaks.

Let the madnesss begin! Listening to this album as someone who first heard it almost 40 years after its release, it's hard to understand what all of the "Dylan goes electric" fuss was about. If I was at Newport, I would have been cheering the loudest. This is powerful music. Strangely, all of the folkies were fine with the acoustic stuff, even though lyrically it was much more akin to the electric music than it was Dylan's earlier folk-oriented efforts. Another Dylan essential!
