Title: Money maker
Review: This review gives "The Best Of Bob Dylan" two stars based only on the packaging efforts by the record company. The songs included on this album are, individually, excellent samples of a marvelous songwriter and poet. However, as a collection this album doesn't really work. The avid Dylan fan already owns all of the songs in this collection in a much more natural state (i.e. the original albums on which they were included). For someone attempting to discover the art of Dylan, I would recommend his 1965 album "Bringing It All Back Home." That album is a perfect blend of where Dylan had been early in his career and where he was going. I cannot put any kind of musical labels on Dylan's work (like folk or folk-rock), as I feel he has defied the barriers of labels throughout his massive career. Simply put, if you like "Bringing It All Back Home," you like Dylan. Start there.
