13. Highway 61 Revisited
(Highway 61 Revisited, 1965)
The bible, race and World War III played out along America's jugular vein.
Jon King (Gang Of Four): "When I was 11, the A level boys in the art classes were allowed to play whatever music they liked, which was Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde. What got me was the sound of his voice. Highway 61 Revisited itself was just so funny. Highway 61 bisects the American North and South, and represents an escape, particularly from where Dylan lived, the tedium of living a constrained, pre-defined life. But in that text, I saw so much. Like the way he plays with the story, and the whole issue of race."
