Genre: Rock
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, released on May 27, 1963, by Columbia Records, marks Bob Dylan’s second studio album and the emergence of his songwriting prowess. Unlike his debut, which featured only two original songs, this album includes eleven of Dylan’s thirteen compositions. Iconic tracks like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” a 1960s anthem later popularized by Peter, Paul & Mary, alongside “Girl from the North Country,” “Masters of War,” “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” became folk classics. Dylan’s lyrics address civil rights, nuclear fears, love, and surreal humor, blending political and personal themes. The album propelled Dylan to international fame, earning him the “Spokesman of a Generation” title, which he rejected. It peaked at number 22 in the U.S., went platinum, and hit number one in the UK in 1964. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it 97 on its 500 greatest albums list, and in 2002, it was among the first 50 recordings added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry. The SACD reissue enhances its timeless sound, showcasing Dylan’s transformative impact on folk music. This album remains essential for its lyrical depth and cultural significance.
