Reviews Customer Reviews for Blonde On Blonde      overrated twaddle      Rating:      I recently purchased this cd from amazon. The delivery was fast. I only wish I could say the same about Blonde on Blonde. What an overrated plodding piece of schlock this is. Most critics place this album in their top ten best. They say it's one of Dylan's best. I wouldn't place this in my top 30. If you want a Dylan starter kit here it is: Highway 61 Revisited, Blood On The Tracks, Bringing It All Back Home. Heck, Shot Of Love is better than Blonde on Blonde.     Customer Reviews for Blonde On Blonde Cd      The poet of his times...      Rating:      This recording is part of my family history. While my father was soldier in the Vietnam War, my mother sent him a copy of this album. It's taken me 40 years to give this piece of material a serious listening and it is quite outstanding. Bob Dylan is a folk singer in the tradition of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger but transcends that: not just because he embraced elements of rock-n-roll, but rather because he is the poet of his times and his country. He understands America in a way that Walt Whitman and Emerson once did. His lyrics are cryptic, yet descriptive of certain moods and feelings. Dylan says what he feels without exactly saying so. It is the essence of poetry. There is also a great deal of humor in his words, as well as, a certain pathos. The more I listen to this album, the more it grows on me.
