Bringing It All Back Home (Vinyl): Bob Dylan: Amazon.ca: Music

Frequently Bought Together

Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

"You sound like you're having a good old time," a purist Dylan fan is spotted telling the artist in the documentary Don't Look Back just after the release of this, his first (half-) electric album. He certainly does. Updating Chicago blues forms with hilarious, tough lyrics--in fact, all but stealing the meter of Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business" for "Subterranean Homesick Blues"--on one side, dropping some of his most devastating solo acoustic science ("It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," "Mr. Tambourine Man") on the other, the first of Dylan's two 1965 long-players broke it right down with style, substance, and elegance. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars Dylan. An Unwitting Prophet Whose Message Remains Ageless., Jan 15 2004

This review is from: Bringing It All Back Home (Rm) (Audio CD)

This CD is one of the most excellent collections of Bob Dylan's talent, skill and ability to allow the muse to flow to all generations. Anyone with a true ear and desire for truth as it is, and not as it is presented by the manipulators of the media cannot help but nod in agreement each time truth is revealed in the lyrics. While sometimes the facts are delivered in humor as in "Maggie's Farm", this CD never skips a beat and always hits its target dead on with a bullseye.

I happened to be at one of the first of Dylan's concerts after he had gone "electric". Though myself and the rest of the crowd were definitely acoustic Dylan fans and upset that he had "sold out" we waited for him to come on stage (45 minutes late) and when we settled our grudge with him about 3 minutes into his first set, our hearts and souls had forever changed and his music still lives on and on. I remember with great respect, that Bob did not even acknowledge our gripes... he just stood there and played despite the crowd's displeasure. That is because he is an artist and a messenger not a puppet.

You will never be sorry you bought "Bringin' It All Back Home" it is a classic of folk/rock electrified Truth from my generation to all others forever!

This review is from: Bringing It All Back Home (Rm) (Audio CD)

If you only ever buy one Bob Dylan album, this should be the one.
"Bringing It All Back Home" is not a better record than "Blood On The Tracks", but it is the one where everything comes together for Bob Dylan, creating an incredible album of folk, blues, and blistering rock n' roll, and it is the one which best represents the depth and versatility of his talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Upon Four-Legged Forest Clouds the Cowboy Angel Rides, Sep 26 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bringing It All Back Home (Rm) (Audio CD)

This album is wonderfully surreal. The imagery is gorgeous, smoky and cold. The title of this review is a quote from "Gates of Eden" which is in my opinion one of the best songs on the album. This album fits words together seamlessly. Sometimes the songs make sense and other times they almost make sense.... but that's the point isn't it? It allows you to make what you will of the meaning.
The album is half electric and half acoustic. This is the transition album! I could never pick my favorite Dylan album but this is surely one of them. Other great songs include "It's alright ma (I'm Only Bleeding)", "It's All Over Now Baby Blue", the hilarious and almost sensical "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" - e.g. every song is a winner. The liner notes which were written by Dylan are hilarious and also almost sensical. If you're a Dylan fan and don't already have this, shame on you. If you're a literature buff, you should have it also. You can't go wrong!

Out of print! They were too inexpensive. I couldn't get enough of them. Every song's a winner, half of them knock the wind out of you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Energy
Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home has a good blend of electric and acoustic songs. Regardless there seems to be a nice warm energy that flows throughout the recording... Read more
