Another Side Of Bob Dylan
''Another Side of Bob Dylan'' is the fourth studio album by American singer and songwriter Bob Dylan, released on August 8, 1964, by Columbia Records. The album deviates from the more socially conscious style which Dylan had developed with his previous LP, '' The Times They Are A-Changin'''. The change prompted criticism from some influential figures in the folk community – ''Sing Out!'' editor Irwin Silber complained that Dylan had "somehow lost touch with people" and was caught up in "the paraphernalia of fame". Despite the album's thematic shift, Dylan performed the entirety of ''Another Side of Bob Dylan'' as he had previous records – solo. In addition to his usual acoustic guitar and harmonica, Dylan provides piano on one track, "Black Crow Blues." ''Another Side of Bob Dylan'' reached No. 43 in the United States (although it eventually went gold), and peaked at No. 8 on the UK charts in 1965. A high-definition 5.1 surround sound edition of the album was relea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
