Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde Review


"Blonde On Blonde" is incredible. In my opinion it shows Dylan at his best. It starts off with the stoned, ramshackle "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35" which is really good. It is followed by "Pledging My Time" which has really cool harmonica and awesome lyrics. The next song is "Visions Of Johanna" which shows Bob's amazing voice and tells a great story in the verses.
"One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later)" is really good and has some cool keyboards. The next song is the BEST song on the CD; "I Want You" is incredibly addictive with rhythmic guitar and you really won't be able to stop listening. "I Want You" is followed by "Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again". Wow that's a long name! It is a nice song with blues overtones and Bob's trademark harmonica. The next song is "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat", a good blues song and cool soloing. The lyrics are very interesting too. The following song is "Just Like A Woman", and it shows Dylan's talent for songwriting and has a nice mellow feel to it. "Just Like A Woman" is followed by "Most Likely You Go Your Way(And I'll Go Mine)". It is a very good song with solid chords and the lyrics mesh really well with Bob Dylan's voice. The next song is "Temporarily Like Achilles", which has very good harmonica and guitar, and has a very nice, calming feel to it. The following song, "Absolutely Sweet Marie" is intriguing. What exactly does it mean to be absolutely sweet? It doesn't really answer that in the song, however it is a good song but not one of the best on the album. The next song is "4th Time Around" and is a good song, with interesting lyrics. The second-to last song is "Obviously 5 Believers", and has awesome backing electric guitar and cool lyrics. The last song is "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" and is a very soft, sad song with Bob's wonderful voice. I think that this album is his best, and is possible to listen all the way through, unlike most of the albums out these days. If you don't own it, then i suggest that you rush out and buy it as soon as possible.
Peace Out
