West's Thread

[West]

It has come to my attention that we need a thread of good music on VSN. I am the man for this job.

First update, "Blowin' in the Wind" by Bob Dylan.

Released in 1963 on Dylan's second studio album, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" under Columbia Records. This is my favorite album that the man has released and quite possibly one of the most influential folk albums ever.



Dylan wrote the album after moving to New York in his early 20s. Dylan displays his opinions regarding a wide array of culturally significant issues at the time through his unique melodies. Concepts such as the Civil Rights Movement and his fear of the potentiality and horrors of nuclear warfare are evident. The album, despite being my favorite, is not one of his most popular. The sound of young Dylan is certainly very different from that of his later works.

Great thread I will follow.


Blowin' In The Wind is my 3rd favorite of Dylan behind Like A Rolling Stone and The Times They Are A-Changing.

The live version is alright but it can't compare to the actual album version, the mood and sound of it is perfect.

So I guess this is a racist thread that won't be including any popular African-American artists?
