Review of the Bloomsbury 33 & 1/3 paperback edition (September 1, 2006)
Have you ever been inspired to read a book simply based on a GR friend’s status update? After seeing Sarah’s update for her reading of the The Mojo Collection: The Greatest Albums of All Time and the Bob Dylan album Highway 61 Revisited, I just had to get out my old LP and then look for what books there were about the album as well. Fortunately there was a rather thorough analysis available from the excellent 33 and 1/3 series.

Polizzotti's book is not for the casual fan. It goes into enormous detail about which songs were recorded at which session. It describes how the various session musicians were chosen and who played on which days. It speculates about the lyrics and often about whom might have been the real-people being written about. In the end it is the music that matters though and for me this is one of the greatest albums of all time. It was one of the first vinyl LPs that I ever purchased back in the 1960s and I still own that original.
Soundtrack
Obviously this includes the entire Highway 61 Revisited album which you can listen to on YouTube here.
For further songs recorded during the Highway 61 Revisited sessions but not included on the final album you can listen to Sitting on a Barbed Wire Fence, Positively 4th Street and Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?.
For bonus alternate tracks and false starts released as The Cutting Edge 1965-1966 collection (note that this includes tracks from the Bringing It All Back Home and Blonde on Blonde sessions) you can listen to the highlights via a playlist on YouTube which starts here.
Trivia and Links
The GR Listopia for the 33 and 1/3 series is incomplete with only 38 books listed as of November 2023. For an up-to-date list see Bloomsbury Publishing with 188 books as of November 2023.
The Wikipedia article for Highway 61 Revisited covers a lot of the trivia background to the album as well.… (meer)
