came together. If Dylan’s acoustic guitar served as the jumping-off point for the music on, here it’s Bloomfield’s electric, which references the blues but reaches out to country twang and rockabilly snap. But when they moved on to “Like a Rolling Stone,” the five takes they tried didn’t jell. “The voice is gone, man,” Dylan said after the fourth take.
With Kooper supplying a bed of organ and Griffin at the piano, it took two rehearsals and four takes for “Like a Rolling Stone” to come together – though they kept going through 11 more takes, still searching, as if unaware of the history they’d made. Just five days after “Like a Rolling Stone” was released, with the song burning up the radio, Dylan appeared at the Newport Folk Festival with an electric band.
Then came Dylan’s next single, and what many felt was his retort to the boos at Newport and the reaction of folkie purists to his electric music: “Positively 4th Street.” Some of Dylan’s most acidic put-downs floated on Kooper’s roller-rink organ and stabs of guitar outrage from Bloomfield. Issued as a non-LP single on September 7th, it would follow “Like a Rolling Stone” up theDylan and Kooper spent the first weekend of August in Woodstock.
ledzepconcert Greatest album ever made. Have still got my copy from 55 years ago
Powers That Be
this and Bringing it all back Home
I love Dylan and this album, but this sensationalist headline of “destroyed folk music” reads like ‘ass’ and was very likely written by someone not even alive when Bob recorded the album.
Sixties Pop ?
The album that changed the game for everyone tbh

I was never the same after hearing, 'God said to Abraham, 'kill me a son,' Abe said man you must be puttin' me on.' A different version of the story than the one I learned in Hebrew school.

Never got into Bob Dylan. Maybe worth a try?
TRextasyBand Great album but it absolutely didn't 'destroy folk music'...!
A true classic album.
Dylan didn’t destroy folk. Folk, like every new generation that plays and listens, moves with the times. There’s always a folk revival going on and every time it’s different. This is right and proper.
Overrated - it’s like reading ‘one of the greatest novels ever’ The dice man - it was of a time that hasn’t carried and that is the same for Dylan’s music
“They can boo until the end of time. I know that the music is real, more real than the boos.”
155 or 55? Lol jk 😂
murray_deem What do you think are his 5 best albums?
Oh look another Rolling Stone article on Bob Dylan.
55 years ago, the greatest song ever written closed this album. Desolation Row.
Rainbow. Your stormy winter Here over the rainbow Skipping the tears You dried up Your dead feet talking Here on my road Bitter and twisted From your lemon drops Your nightly kiss Coming over all of me Someday soon I'm sure I will wake up.
Destroyed or evolutionary
Bob Dylan's 'Highway 61 Revisited' turns 55 today. Here, we go inside the album that destroyed folk music and set a new standard for Sixties pop
