Dylan was virtually gushing great songs when this masterpiece arrived in the summer of 1965. From the epochal opening of "Like a Rolling Stone" through the absurdly apocalyptic closer, "Desolation Row," his command of surrealistic language was daring and amazing. As a vocalist, he was rewriting the rules of the game. Jimi Hendrix made note of Mr. Z's technically suspect pitch and decided that he too was a singer. And the backing, though ragged, is precisely right. Is this the essential Dylan album? It's certainly one of them. --Steven Stolder

The Greatest Album of All Time, In My Opinion Sep 03, 2010
This album has been reviewed in enough depth by all the reviewers below,so there is not much more I can say about it.

Dylan should have received the Noble prize for poetry for this album alone. Not to mention all of the others.

I have over 2500 CDs that cover all types of music from rock, country, mexican, world, raggae, opera, classical, etc, except for RAP.(which I consider for the musically illiterate). Out of all of my albums which I have collected for the last 55 years,(replacing a lot of my vinyls with cds) I consider Highway 61 Revisited to be the best album ever produced.

I bought this album the year it was released and have at least 3 copies inclucing the gold cd.
There is not a song writer that ever lived, that could or will ever be able to outdo Dylan.

There is really nothing else to say about it except if you have never heard the entire album you have missed something really great and unequalled in music.

Awesome Album Apr 15, 2010
This CD is one of my all-time favorites EVER! Bob Dylan is so talented and his lyrics are amazing. In my opinion this is Bob Dylan's best album...well "Blonde on Blonde" was one of his best too. If your a big music person this is a must have. "Like a Rolling Stone" is considered to be "the greatest song of all time" by Rolling Stone Magazine and this album is also considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. every song on this CD is great and Bob Dylan's style is so original. This album is defintley worth purchasing. I listen to it just about everyday and I love it. Bob Dylan is simply amazing and anyone who truly considers him or herself to be a huge music fan should own this CD.

Possibly the Best Rock'n'Roll album ever Apr 11, 2010
It's almost like every song out'does the previous song ... and that is saying a lot, because the album kicks off with Like A Rolling Stone, an unbievalably great track. This man was in a League of his own. And how did he follow up this album? ... with Blonde on Blonde.

Among the Greatest Rock and Roll Records Dec 24, 2009
This album is Dylan at his most despairing, at the bottom of a pit of confusion. The album has some of the greatest images ever put in songs. This album is about Dylan the poet. The lyrics beg to be interpreted and then run away from any single view of what they mean. Some people think they just convey an emotion and that is enough. For those who like to try to understand Dylan's lines, this album is the exemplification of his most inspired efforts.

Just "Desolation Row" alone would make a songwriter's reputation. It's an incredible way to end an album, filled as it is with hopelessness. And yet Desolation Row also seems to be the best place to understand the world.

Of course, the album begins with "Like a Rolling Stone" with its insistent beat, its lyrics almost spit out, its raw emotion. The song rattles listeners with its mockery of its subject, whoever that might be.

The album is an absolute must for anyone who wants to be literate about rock music history.

--Lawrence J. Epstein, author of Political Folk Music in America from Its Origins to Bob Dylan

Is too much overrated Nov 06, 2009
Five stars... I can't see (neither understand) the reason why. I've given many oppotunities to this album (in this very moment I'm giving it one more), expecting each time to hear what is in it that makes a lot of people happy-yelling about it... For me it's got one good song followed by another boring one. The goods are WONDERFUL indeed, and the borings are crispy and extremely poor arranged... For me it's a long long way between this album and the almost perfect "Subterranean Homescik Blues" or the glorius "Bolde on Blonde". Anyway, there's no account for taste.
