William#5 One Album A Day – While I am not sure I ever listed to this album in particular, I was familiar with a lot of the songs on this album. There's actually quite a few of his legendary tracks on this album. I gave it three spins over the course of the day. He's really got a knack for story-telling and it was really made clear on this album.

JamesThis is where Dylan suddenly becomes Dylan in the cultural imagination: sharp, funny, politically engaged, emotionally complicated, and impossible to categorize neatly. “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Masters of War” became era-defining songs, but quieter tracks like “Girl from the North Country” reveal just how quickly his songwriting depth expanded. The stripped-down acoustic arrangements place all focus on the lyrics and phrasing. Dylan already sounds unconcerned with traditional notions of vocal beauty, using his voice instead as a dramatic and rhythmic tool. The album treats folk music as living language rather than historical artifact. It changed the expectations surrounding singer-songwriters almost immediately.

BarryNo, I've never sat down and listened to a Bob Dylan album. Now I have. Yes, I'm from Minnesota. Sorry. (Spoiler alert: pretty great!)
