Bob Dylan-Highway 61 Revisited (1965)

The first years of his career Bob Dylan would be marked by his vindictive facet in his lyrics and folk and acoustic sounds, a combination that attracted millions of fans around the world, at a time when there was a certain pessimism and nonconformity and with rebellion that involved Bob Dylan would raise passions with simple songs full of philosophy and direct and committed messages.
In 1965 Bob Dylan would give a change to his style by electrifying his sound and on the album "Highway 61 Revisited" he would demonstrate that the rock world had no secrets for him.
With a consistent and powerful band he made a memorable album that would seat a chair with an immense range of musical proposals.
Famous for containing the immortal "Like A Rolling Stone", a song considered by many to be the best song in all of rock history, with a splendid solid rhythmic base, harmonies that include basic instruments of the genre, such as guitars, percussion and the organs and a forceful and memorable melody, not to mention a countercultural lyrics that in this case literally destroyed the aristocracy and the upper class of society with poetic grace and cunning worthy of a noble reward.
However the album contained other great compositions like the folk rock "Desolation Row" or the blues "Tombstone Blues", making up this rock masterpiece.
