Highway 61 Revisited is a feisty album. The half of the album is a relentless blast of manic energy. Both the music and Dylan have a lot to say, and the music is kinder than Dylan's words.

Bob Dylan continually puts more meaning in one line of lyrics than other rock and roll artists put in their albums. I don't claim to understand everything he has to say, but it sure makes listening more interesting.

There isn't a bad song on this album. Dylan surely knows how to rock. This album is worth owning. It takes some time to get used to, but the music is great and Dylan's voice just drips with scorn. Like a Rolling Stone, Tombstone Blues, From a Buick 6, Ballad of a Thin Man and Desolation Row are my favorites.
