My Favorite!

This was the first Dylan album I ever got and it is also my most played…. the variety is great and really shows his ever-changing persona between 1963 and 1971. BUY THIS, you’ll never be disappointed!

Ain’t going Nowhere

I bought this song to use in a birthday video for my son. WhenI tried to post it to youtube, my entire sound track was muted. I was only using part of the song but what is the point of purchasing it if I can’t use it for background music in a family video? I returned it.

just about every cut here is classic, necessary music. but for ‘watchtower’ and ‘tomorrow is such a long time’ alone…. it is completely worth the purchase.
Bob Dylan

This is a really great album that ranges from acoustic to rock band backing. It's a "must have" for Dylan fans. I already have Greatest Hits, but it's only 10 songs, which are probably more famous than greatest. This Vol. II has 21 songs and is more comprehensive of Dylan's earlier career. It's such a treat to hear Watching the River Flow, a 7 minute version of Memphis Blues, and even though it might be Jimi's song, the original All Along the Watchtower. Many of these songs you don't hear very often, or would have to search dozens of albums to find them, but they're all compiled on Vol. II.
Mono

This has been my favorite Bob Dylan album, compilation or otherwise, since the 1970s, but has anyone else noticed that All I Really Want to Do, My Back Pages, and Hard Rain, are all in mono? With the recent release of the mono box I have been more in tune with these things, and these three tracks are definitely the original mono takes. Another reason to love the album.
Arguably Dylan's greatest collection from the glory years

Almost every song here is a gem. The top song, by far, is Watching the River Flow: Dylan rocks! (Or, rather, Leon Russell gets him to rock). And it's great fun to hear so many songs covered by the yrds here so as to argue forever about which version is better.
If the only Dylan you know is the croaking old guy, get this album to hear him at his best.
i love this album!

Stunning Songs

This album really showcases the amazing breadth of Dylan's talent in his popular prime. There are treasures galore here - from the early virtuosity and lilt of "Don't think Twice," the disillusioned "My Back Pages" and the wonderfully bitter kiss-off, "Positively 4th Street"...One particular gem is the spare, lovely live recording of "Tomorrow is a Long Time", a stunningly personal, shell-shocked expression of the after-effects of love gone wrong, sung with harrowing, rough-sawn tenderness.
