These last songs reveal a deeper, more relaxed sophistication, maturity, and brilliance in the writing, and proved to the many doubters of the time that after the “highbrow” Porgy and Bess, they...

These were songs born of personal crisis, not the least of which was Dylan’s own feeling that he was written out. The story of the writing of these songs and the making of this album...

Groundbreaking in both its structural, technical, and emotional...
