Bob Dylan · 1966 · 1960s · Entry 270 of 272
Blonde on Blonde
The first double album in rock — two records of surrealist poetry and amphetamine-country-blues cut in Nashville with session players who'd never heard anything like it. 'Visions of Johanna', 'Just Like a Woman', 'Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again', 'Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' — a song cycle that has no peer. Dylan at the outer edge of language.
