It Takes a Train to Cry; Ballad of a Thin Man; Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues ?? and Desolation Row .</br></br>Amazon.com</br></br>Dylan was virtually gushing great songs when this masterpiece arrived in the summer of 1965. From the epochal opening of " a Rolling Stone" through the absurdly apocalyptic closer?? "esolation Row??"his command of surrealistic language was daring and amazing. As a vocalist?? he was rewriting the rules of the game. Jimi Hendrix made note of Mr. Z's technically suspect pitch and decided that he too was a singer. And the backing?? though ragged?? is precisely right. Is this the essential Dylan album? It's certainly one of them. <i>--Steven Stolder</i></br><br/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00026WU822egrow
