Highway 61 Revisited, Revisited

On this date – August 30 – back in 1965, Bob Dylan completely changed the course of popular music forever (again) with the release of what was, arguably, the first real folk-rock album to shake up the charts. Highway 61 Revisited is often the gateway album with which scores of college kids each year begin their discovery of Dylan's early years.

I can't imagine it's entirely coincidental that the release of Bob Dylan's most recent album, Modern Times came one day before the anniversary of Highway 61. After all, Modern Times seems to be a rather poised and artistic return to the folk-blues-infused rock stylings with which Dylan so heavily broke ground 41 years ago.

With marriages, the 41st anniversary gift is land; so, to celebrate the 41st anniversary of Highway 61 Revisited, I'll grant Dylan some virtual land here on the folk music blog, by taking you back to 1965...
