Bob Dylan

Dylan's followers parse his Word so thoroughly that it seems foolish to even mention that 15 of his albums have been remastered and reissued. Those who care already know. But there are some young, misled, or unlucky people who have not yet accepted Dylan. I was recently one of them, and I can assure the heathens that now is a perfect time to meet the catalog that Cannot Be Moved. Columbia has remastered 15 Dylan albums and released them in the Hybrid SACD format, which plays on standard CD players as well as SACD players. Six of the releases contain a 5.1 surround mix, which does something spatially fantastic that I have yet to hear. (Go here for more info.) Blonde on Blonde is more jaunty and fleet than its reputation suggests, and Highway 61 Revisited is holding on where so many of its contemporaries have cried Uncle. Many, many of these songs end before their welcome has worn out. The remastering—which will read to most listeners as the act of making these CDs as loud as CDs you'd buy today—is judicious and generally transparent. A million arguments await: Did Dylan liberate the pop lyric? Did he destroy it? Did he invent celebrity mystery? The comeback? Pretentious rock? The lousy singing voice? Start studying. You've got a lifetime.
