Title: they really have changed!
Review: Dylans "the times they are a changing" harkens back to a time when a musician could record an album with just a guitar, harmonica and his voice as the only instruments in the recording. Something which would probably not be possible today, at least as far as main stream music is concerned. Back then musicians were truly artists. They recorded what they were inspired to do, not just to sell records but to create music that would inspire them and listeners as well. That said this is truly an exceptional album with some great songs! In my opinion this was Dylan's best period. His playing is at its best and his lyrics are thought provoking. There are some political songs but there is also "boots of spanish leather" one of my all time favs. But if you are not a fan of singer/songwriters (of which Dylan might have been among the first) then this is not for you. If you are a fan of great lyrics and great playing then by all means buy it!
