We Say...
Recorded in a single night, in front of a handful of friends, Dylan's last solo acoustic album for nearly 30 years showed off the melodic leaps forward his songwriting had taken. (The Byrds later covered four of its songs.) He's still invested in the political world, but in a more abstract way than his previous few records; "Chimes of Freedom" surveys the political landscape from a distance, and "My Back Pages" dismisses his old moral certitude. What he's more interested in here is the difficult complexities of human relationships, from the horndog Jimmie Rodgers homage of "All I Really Want to Do" to the three savage breakup songs that end the album — not coincidentally, his relationship with Freewheelin' cover girl Suze Rotolo had collapsed shortly before.

They Say...
The other side of Bob Dylan referred to in the title is presumably his romantic, absurdist, and whimsical one -- anything that wasn't featured on the staunchly folky, protest-heavy Times They Are A-Changin', really. Because of this, Another Side of Bob Dylan is a more varied record and it's more successful, too, since it captures Dylan expanding his music, turning in imaginative, poetic performances on love songs and protest tunes alike. This has an equal number of classics to its predecessor, actually, with "All I Really Want to Do," "Chimes of Freedom," "My Back Pages," "I Don't' Believe You," and "It Ain't Me Babe" standing among his standards, but the key to the record's success is the album tracks, which are graceful, poetic, and layered. Both the lyrics and music have gotten deeper and Dylan's trying more things -- this, in its construction and attitude, is hardly strictly folk, as it encompasses far more than that. The result is one of his very best records, a lovely intimate affair. [In 2003, Columbia/Legacy reissued 15 selected titles from Dylan's catalog as hybrid SACDs, playable in both regular CD players and Super Audio CD players. Each title is packaged as a digipak, containing the full original artwork. On each of the titles, and on each of the layers, the remastered sound is spectacular, a considerable upgrade from the initial CD pressings. Another Side of Bob Dylan was one of five titles that also included a 5.1 Surround Sound mix.]
