Summary: Dylan's Best
Comment: I had forgotten how badly Dylan sings while being so good at it. A nice collection of his work.
Customer Rating:
Summary: a great intro
Comment: this is a great album for what it is and it is a career spanning compilation and as such is meant to include the finest tracks and is meant to give a sampler of an artist work which it does exceptionally well. no it doesn't have all his best tracks and yes everybody has their little probelems,but for those uniniated or just starting out with a minimal dylan collection its a great starter i guarantee you'll come back too time and again.

Summary: Dylan Review
Comment: This was my first CD of Bob Dylan's good CD with songs that make you think. Good melodies, typical Dylan voice.
Customer Rating:
Summary: GREAT COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW
Comment: Bashing Dylan's vocal skills as a means of arguing that he's not a great artist is kind of like complaining that Woody Allen isn't a versatile actor. If you have to resort to that, his talent is completely over your head. Look at this track list - 30 of the greatest songs in American popular music & he wrote every single one & had huge radio hits with many of them. Granted, there are versions of these tunes out there that surpass the original recordings in terms of sing-along-ability & pleasing listening. But that's hardly the point. So his poetry is not your thing? Then why come here & review an album you obviously haven't even purchased or listened to?? If anyone wants a wonderful summary of Dylan's repertoire, this is a CD set that can't be beat. And just look at that price! A+

Summary: Includes some of his best work.
Comment: I don't listen to Bob Dylan a lot. I have 7 of his cd's.(I am 58 year old male) So far this is my favorite. I like most of the tracks on this one and there are 30. Some of the other cd's I have I like maybe half of the tracks. This one has a great "It's all over now, baby blue".
"Rainy day woman", "Forever young", "jokerman", "Silvio", are my least fovorites. They're ok but just don't grab me.
The rest of the cd is great. I could listen to it all day. Great for a long trip in the car.
If you like Dylan then get this one. It's well worth it.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Two discs of music don't exactly provide for a thorough overview of four decades of recording, particularly if the subject of the retrospective is one of the most important and prolific performers of his time. So The Essential Bob Dylan definitely skates over the leagues-deep oeuvre of Dylan, summarizing his monumental first half-dozen years in disc one and skirting over the following 34 years in disc two. Delving into Columbia's three Dylan greatest-hits packages (though curiously purging "I Want You," a genuine hit single in its day), Essential offers only a few surprises, opting for The Basement Tapes version of "Quinn the Eskimo" over the Self Portrait remake that made it onto Greatest Hits Volume II and tossing in "Things Have Changed" from the Wonder Boys soundtrack for completists. But this 30-track overview is designed with newcomers, not Dylanologists, in mind. --Steven Stolder
