Today is the 56th anniversary of the first recording session, on a rainy summer afternoon in 1965, for what later became Highway 61 Revisited. It is possibly Dylan’s greatest album, but how good is it? And why is it so great?
I celebrate the anniversary with a thorough revisit of the album, in Dylanology, the newsletter I’m writing together with Jakob Brønnum.
In addition to “Highway 61 Revisited” Revisited, the issue also contains discussions of Most of the Time and In the Summertime, as well as the second part of my discussion of “Too Late”/”Foot of Pride” from the first issue.
It is a subscription-based newsletter, but here’s a preview of the issue
