From the The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia by Michael Gray:
"Bringing It All Back Home [1965] The fifth album—another breakthrough and another sudden
jump to new ground. One side of the record is solo and has four long tracks, each of which has
become a classic—‘Mr. Tambourine Man’; the visionary ‘Gates of Eden’; ‘It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only
Bleeding)’ and the beautiful ‘It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue’. This solo side of the album contained
more than enough to justify Dylan’s burgeoning popularity as a uniquely contemporary spokesman.
But the other side was enough to gain him a new notoriety and to lose him even more devotees
than his previous album had done. Unprecedentedly, here was this folk-singer committing the ultimate
sacrilege of singing rock’n’roll songs with electric guitars behind him. Students—seriousminded
young people unaware of the social upheavals about to happen—were appalled that
Dylan should resort to such triviality. Mostly this side sounds pretty thin now, and a dress-rehearsal/
prototype for what was to come next. But it was undeniably innovative and gives us yet another
collection of stand-out Dylan songs."
