Columbia, 1963

My dad LOVES Dylan, so I grew up with a lot of these songs. I love the album for that reason, and also for its intrinsic merit and historic relevance. As I have said of a couple albums before this, it takes me back to a time of change, and of hope for change. One thing I appreciate about Dylan is the element of anger, or perhaps more accurately frustration, in his songs. In Masters of War, for example, there is a hard tone that is not always heard in American 60s folk. It always resonated with me. As much as I value peace, I think it's fair to acknowledge some anger toward those that literally destroy our world for personal gain. Dylan does that. Great record.
