iTunes Review
Seen as a harbinger of rock's post-Peppers back-to-basics movement upon its release the last week of 1967, John Wesley Harding transcended easy categorization. As gnomic as Highway 61 Revisited, but as hushed in its own funky way as Another Side of Bob Dylan, Harding stands as one of Dylan's greatest albums. Cut in Nashville with a three-piece rhythm section, its songs are mostly parables that, even at their most musically jaunty ("TheBallad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest"), are filled with mystery and distrust. But don't forget the occasional matter-of-fact violent shock (the bolt of lightning that destroys a courthouse in "Drifter's Escape"). Of course, there were also the apparently plainspoken title track, and two love songs made for covers, which they quickly received. It's often argued that rock fans can dance and think at the same time; substitute relaxing for dancing, and Harding provides an ideal soundtrack.

Good Album, definetley
by DO0M666Obviously Dylan is popular, but in truth, he is underrated. I perfer his music over the beatles and all those other bands out, which is hard, because some of the contemparary music was so good. Bob Dylan, insted of doing what most others would have done, he could have wrote a psychedelic album. Bob Dylan shows us he could reject contemparary music, do what he likes, and ignore what fans like. It will still sound good.
In love ...
by layladylay75This album has been a godsend through some of the most challenging times of my life. I never get sick of it.
John Wesley Harding
by dano90A note. That this was a ground breaking album at the time, not country and not quite folk, recorded in nashville and within one year just about all major country and folk musicians were recording in nashville. Dylan set the stage that changed folk music for ever. A must have album !!!
