I'm 61 now, & still trying to fathom how such a young man wrought such elemental, timeless blues out of his (sub)consciousness. And to this day, with or without pharmaceutical assistance, I find more textured layers of meaning informing the lyrics. We will never know his like again, & I will be listening to Bob Dylan until my dying day.
yes, robert, one of the coolest, hands down. right along side blue sky, by alman brothers😎. the thing about dylan? he found a way, in himself, transforms melancholy to a powerful stream of some other kind of feeling. a quiet booster. to move on, go deeper, find more. of course, he'd laugh if he saw this, his rasping laugh of five decades ago😎. the dude. none other. every song way you there😎.
He was great singer by anybody's standards. Listen to Dear Landlord, Down Along the Cove, Visions of Johanna, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Hattie Carroll, and dozens of others for proof... and a truly great blues voice too.
i've never underrated it! its up there but below the radar and thats fine and ok with me....this is a brilliant song period....if numbskulls cant see it well thats expected of the numbskulls....
I know it's just a blues in G and isn't filled with the same lyrical prowess Bob usually deals in, but this is one of my favourite Dylan tracks. It feels joyous, completely free and expressive. I love his vocal on it, and there are still some killer one-liners: "Now the winter time is coming/windows are filled with frost..." You're there straight away.
@@Skinnyorangemusic Yes it's a capo on the first fret song as far as the guitar goes. So the guitar fingerings would be very much a blues in G, even though the song comes up as being in G# (or Ab) major. So everyone's right in a way. (Dylan actually worked out the song's final version on the upright piano in the studio, and it's possible that was tuned exactly a semitone down, like many uprights are. So he may have been playing it in the keyboard's A major at that stage, which makes a lot more sense than Ab).
@@tonamiller6850 SUMMER OF '65. IN HIGH SCHOOL. MY FRIEND'S COLLEGE SISTER TOLD US ABOUT THIS GUY DOING IMPORTANT SONGS THAT TOLD A STORY. IT WAS THEN I STARTED DIGGING DYLAN'S MUSIC......CHARLIE O'B
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby Can't buy a thrill Well, I've been up all night, baby Leanin' on the windowsill Well, if I die On top of the hill And if I don't make it You know my baby will Don't the moon look good, mama Shinin' through the trees?

I stopped listening to Dylan for about twenty years, then I thought was he really that good? He certainly passed the test of time by being better than I remembered.
Bob Dylan was born under a table in a Southern blues bar. He was 1000 years old at birth. The bartender handed him a harmonica and he blasted the night away.
Maggies tarantula farm is all embeded in ice, so we drove on ahead for one more cup of joey , king of the streets , child of night , dont think twice, its only bleeding ,because everything is broken
Dylan sort of scored just in the right time in the music business. Had newspapers promote his first albums, all after he gained popularity after performing in folk scene, playing Woodie Guthrie style songs. He has a perfect career, he is still going on, but he is a fully accomplished poet/songwriter already.
Bob Dylan, you have done more Masterpieces, than anybody else. If we put together all musicians songs, They aren’t even nearby your fantastic lyrics and music 🎶 you picked, harmonies well..you are the Master And I/we love you sincerly..🙏 blessings and love 💕 🌷🙏
Always my favourite from Highway. It reminds of taking the train home from university to see my parents. I remember one November breezing through the English countryside, the sky was blue but there was slight fog - as if the hills in the distance were just an idea, rather than tangible things.
Absolutely brilliant folk/blues track from a great album. The backing band is really superb here - tight, taut and on the nail. Probably my favourite Dylan album and one of the greatest albums of all time.
I usually don't read the comments because I just don't feel the need but I read all of these. It is truly amazing how "Like a Rolling Stone" has affected so many people. So many stories & so many memories from people. Incredible how one man could have touched the hearts of so many. A person like that doesn't come around to often.
Speaking of trains, a mail train was the fastest of all. No stopping, bags picked up in the fly. A milk train, on the other hand, stopped at every small town to pick up cans left by farmers. Always puzzled me since I first bought this in the 60s.
The great session pianist Paul Griffin played on Dylan's critical early albums and graced many classic recordings with diverse artists over his career.
This is such a brilliant track, reminds me of my dad.x. This will stay with me forever, love my dad. Thank you for the childhood memories dad. X He still plays this in 2020 x
What a wonderful feeling brought by Bob Dylan"s greatest voice is magnificent and stronger each day! Marvelous performance and lyrics written to be sweeter too! Fantastic gift! Thank you so much!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
It's rare that the music and the lyrics on a Dylan song are as in sync as on this.Too often, the backing is just that, backing. Great, but a little nondescript. But here, everything fits. The backing is as intriguing as the lyric. A slam dunk
For Bob, if he can read this comment: there are some times I exchange messages about you, with an your fan. Today I decided to coppy here one this messages, in order you know what is the real love of a fan. See what she wrote to me: "Thank you , you show your love too - I think so much about the lyric , the music , the arrangements, the kind of singin', from Bob Dylan - that it makes me dizzy , sometimes. I know nothing that contains more wisdom, more power of expression, more energy than these songs and the different kind of presentation from Bob. I am addicted to it, for sure. I know you understand him too- he has dedicated his whole life to this art, because the Art chose him, he serves her - all his life. He got a mission- he is blessed. I hope you stay well , I send you a whole bucket full of good energy, it comes from the heart..Bye for now"💖💖

And Dylan wrote so many others
Dylan's voice, phrasing and timing gives all his songs a Dylan Dimension. Some say Dylan's voice is terrible. They are very wrong.
He was at his vocal best here
Dylan has a great voice, he changes it according to what he's singing.
You got that right. So many people have ears but they cant hear.
He was great singer by anybody's standards. Listen to Dear Landlord, Down Along the Cove, Visions of Johanna, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Hattie Carroll, and dozens of others for proof... and a truly great blues voice too.
@thedontrotta his 1976 voice was something else.
Always felt underrated to me, it's one of my favorite blues rock jams ever
You are not wrong.

C'est une de mes chansons préférées de Dylan. Je la connais par cœur. Elle me touche eaucoup, sans doute par sa reinterpretation du nlues.

For sure and this is one of the very best songs on it remember when I first heard it love his harp blowing
Imagine releasing an album the same week this came out ,you’d be devastated wouldn’t you 😂
For sure
He truly is unfathomable. So grateful to have grown up when he was coming up...
Lucky bastard.
If you are looking for the perfect delivery of a blues song, well guess what you''ve just found it. That harmonica OMG
train song
I can imagine rolling through the Kansas City rail yards in 1952 while listening to this song.
MAGIC 😂TALENT
yes absolutly
Better drankin music than Hank w.
My all-time favorite Bob Dylan song.

I just don't know how you can pick. I'd have to pick 40 songs and even then #1 or #40 could be so easily swapped the next day

Dylan helped my dad die in peace, as a Vietnam
Veteran. Thank god for our troops and bless Bob Dylan
Bless you 🇺🇲👍
Your dad is a baby killer and so are the rest of the u.s soldiers and your thanking god for them?
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby
Can't buy a thrill
Well, I've been up all night, baby
Leanin' on the windowsill
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it
You know my baby will
Don't the moon look good, mama
Shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the "Double E?"
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?
Now the wintertime is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody
But I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost
I've stared at the album cover for hours.
me too!
“Well, I’ve put a lot of thought into it.”
I dont know what youre on but Ill take a double dose
me as well, but I got only one question...
What the fuck is he holding in his hand?! I always thought it was a roach clip.
Knightscroft Squire-Muldoon his ray-bans if I remember correctly.
Took a long break from listening to Dylan and then revisited this and it just floored me
I stopped listening to Dylan for about twenty years, then I thought was he really that good? He certainly passed the test of time by being better than I remembered.
glad it did!

This is true, American culture
I can't understand why some people prefer covers to the real Bob. His voice is magic and I take no other, not even Hendrix's!
"Well I've been up all night/Leaning on the windowsill." Probably the simplest line, but also one of his best.

@@jesuisravi It cheapens the quality of a masterpiece to be so easily accessible I suppose.

Trains can't get lost. Because they're trains and they can only go where the track goes.
That's why he was such a genius.
No, they most likely can not get lost, but they can derail if not conducted properly xD
It's those few notes on the piano after his final crescendo on the harp: da da, da da da da... Pure joy!
Different type of train.

I reckon that Highway 61 Revisited along with Blonde On Blonde and the Farewheeling remains the best Dylan's album ever made.
I mean the Freewheeling
one of my all time favorites... I listen to it during riding by train and see the river Rhein....
