''John Wesley Harding'' was well received by critics and sold well, reaching on the U.S. charts and topping the UK charts.

The Times They Are A-Changin' (Bob Dylan Album)
''The Times They Are a-Changin'' is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was released on February 10, 1964, through Columbia Records. Whereas his previous albums, ''Bob Dylan'' (1962) and '' The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'' (1963), combined original material and cover songs, this was the first to feature only original compositions. The album consists mostly of stark, sparsely arranged ballads concerning issues such as racism, poverty, and social change. The title track is one of Dylan's most famous; many feel that it captures the spirit of social and political upheaval that characterized the 1960s. Some critics and fans were not quite as taken with the album as a whole, relative to his previous work, for its lack of humor or musical diversity. Still, ''The Times They Are a-Changin'' peaked at No. 20 on the US chart, eventually going gold, and belatedly reaching No. 4 in the UK in 1965. Recording sessions Dylan began work on his third album on Augus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
