Highway 61 Revisited

The sixth album of folk-rock artist Bob Dylan released by Columbia in 1965.  Considered to be one of the greatest records of all time, Dylan recorded the entire thing in six days.  The whole thing is brilliantly done and includes famous guitarist Mike Bloomfield.  Chart-topper "Like a Rolling Stone" is only one of the reasons why this album is outstanding.  "Desolation Row" was an all-acoustic track but only became that way because of a last minute decision by Dylan himself.
