Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
Containing many of his most striking early compositions--and sounding today far less dated than The Times They Are A-Changin', his next largely "protest" album--the guitar/voice/harmonica sound and vision of Freewheelin' remains by turns hilarious ("Talking World War III Blues"), sweet ("Corrina, Corrina"), bitter ("Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"), enraged ("Masters of War"), questing ("Blowin' in the Wind"), and all of these things at once ("I Shall Be Free"). More than any other album, Freewheelin' established Dylan as the "voice of a generation," though even that expansive title was destined to be constricting in the face of the art he would soon create. --David Cantwell
CD Description
With this album Dylan emerged from the cloak of Woody Guthrie and proclaimed his own unique talent. No longer detached--the set was originally entitled BOB DYLAN'S BLUES--he personalised his songs, famously rejecting four from the final draft in favour of others reflecting his newer muse. Protest songs were given a wider resonance--the text of "Masters Of War" remains sadly relevant decades later--while his love songs are haunting but universal statements. Dylan injected black humor into the talking blues and railed against injusticein all forms, with a perception encompassing the anger of ageneration. FREEWHEELIN' is a landmark in the development of folk and pop music.
