I like it. I like how he plays guitar on it.

His "House Of The Rising Sun" is perfect.

Well done it took you nearly 50 years ha ha, it's a young man trying to copy old blues men,the guitar style is an aggressive flat pick with little subtlety,which is probably to be expected,but there were better players around of a similar age, eg Martin Carthy, Bert Jancsh...HRS and let me follow you down are truthfully the only memorable tracks

[thetramp1936]

but there were better players around of a similar age, eg Martin Carthy, Bert Jancsh...

check out Sammy Walker, he's one of those players i guess
his Catcher In The Rye (played a bit like a Doc Watson song) is often miscredited to Dylan :rolleyes:

I think the cover notes are really 'cool'... a pleasure to re-read them nearly 50 yrs after they were written

starts..
Columbia records is proud to introduce a major new figure in American folk music -- Bob Dylan.
Excitement has been running high since the young man with a guitar ambled into a Columbia recording studio for two sessions in November, 1961. For at only 20, Dylan is the most unusual new talent in American folk music.
His talent takes many forms. He is one of the most compelling white blues singers ever recorded. He is a songwriter of exceptional facility and cleverness. He is an uncommonly skillful guitar player and harmonica player.
In less than one year in New York, Bob Dylan has thrown the folk crowd into an uproar. Ardent fans have been shouting his praises. Devotees have found in him the image of a singing rebel, a musical Chaplin tramp, a young Woody Guthrie, or a composite of some of the best country blues singers.
A good deal of Dylan's steel-string guitar work runs strongly in the blues vein, although he will vary it with country configurations, Merle Travis picking and other methods. Sometimes he frets his instrument with the back of a kitchen knife or even a metal lipstick holder, giving it the clangy virility of the primitive country blues men. His pungent, driving, witty harmonica is sometimes used in the manner of Walter Jacobs, who plays with the Muddy Waters' band in Chicago, or the evocative manner of Sonny Terry.

The blackmail album is called Dylan, the first album is called Bob Dylan. There is only one album called Bob Dylan. Sandrine for the win.

A friend bought it for my 22nd birthday. All I had ears for then was 'Infidels'.
