Another Side Of Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan: Folk. Dylan’s fourth album and he is already bored with the folk genre. Here he has ditched the political/protest songs that had made his name and starts singing about more personal and human issues. He kick starts the confessional singer/songwriter genre with his songs chronicling the arguments and break up with his then girlfriend in an eight minute long bitching session. He is also in a lighter mood and seems half cut on some tracks which he supposedly made up on the spot. The best though is when he pokes fun at himself and all the other folkies “I was so much older then/ I’m younger than that now”. Mind you he would already be changing direction by the time this record had been released. Gotta love him. TWH: It Ain’t Me Babe; My Back Pages; I Don’t Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)
