Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home

Bringing It All Back Home is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released in March 1965 via Columbia Records.

The album is divided into an electric and an acoustic side, although the acoustic side included some tracks in which other instruments were backing up Dylan and his guitar, but no drums were used.

On side one of the original LP, Dylan is backed by an electric rock and roll band.  On the acoustic second side of the album, he distanced himself from the protest songs with which he had become closely identified (such as Blowin' in the Wind and A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall), as his lyrics continued their trend towards the abstract and personal.

Two singles were released from the album - Subterranean Homesick Blues and Maggie's Farm.

Subterranean Homesick Blues is a romp through the difficulties and absurdities of anti-establishment politics and Maggie's Farm is Dylan's declaration of independence from the protest folk movement.  Click here to hear Maggie's Farm live from the No Direction Home Soundtrack.

The album reached No. 6 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart, the first of Dylan's LPs to break into the US top 10. It also topped the UK charts later that Spring. The first track, Subterranean Homesick Blues, became Dylan's first single to chart in the US, peaking at #39.
