AMG Review of The Times They Are A-Changin'
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideIf The Times They Are a-Changin' isn't a marked step forward from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, even if it is his first collection of all originals, it's nevertheless a fine collection all the same. It isn't as rich as Freewheelin', and Dylan has tempered his sense of humor considerably, choosing to concentrate on social protests in the style of "Blowin' in the Wind." With the title track, he wrote an anthem that nearly equaled that song, and "With God on Our Side" and "Only a Pawn in Their Game" are nearly as good, while "Ballad of Hollis Brown" and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" are remarkably skilled re-castings of contemporary tales of injustice. His absurdity is missed, but he makes up for it with the wonderful "One Too Many Mornings" and "Boots of Spanish Leather," two lovely classics. If there are a couple of songs that don't achieve the level of the aforementioned songs, that speaks more to the quality of those songs than the weakness of the remainder of the record. And that's also true of the album itself -- yes, it pales next to its predecessor, but it's terrific by any other standard.

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'. And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him As they rode him in custody down to the station And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder. Above and beyond, one of my favorite songs is "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll". In the m...

I've long been known as a hyperbolic person, so forgive me, but I'm Not There is the best movie I've ever seen in my life.1. There are movies that I love almost as much and maybe in some ways more, but this one seemed somehow on a higher plane due to its non-linearity; I don't see super-arty movies a lot, so maybe its artiness was a new thing to me, but the fact that it was arty and I understood
