It's also all over the torrent networks. All hail the free exchange of cultural information!
Haynes: Sometimes brilliant, often extremely self-indulgent. Always worth a look.
Dylan: An acquired taste. "Blowin' in the Wind" has been so overplayed by so many melancholy teenagers that it's original bite can surprise. In Dylan's hands, B.I.T.W. is a protest song, not a dirge.
Dylan has released a lot of crap over the years, but his best is in a league by itself. No point arguing about it, though. Either you get Dylan or you don't. Obviously, a lot of smart people fall into both camps.
Peace, everyone.
