None of it is really (really) difficult he gets as much effect as possible from techniques that are actually quite simple (once you master them). There is some really nice guitar work on some of these tracks: the finger-picking on Don’t Think Twice and Talkin WW3 Blues, the free-rhythmical blues a la Big Joe Williams of Down the Highway, the lyricism of Corrina Corrina, and the persistent, rhythmical hammering-on of Masters of War. What this album first of all shows (and which was confirmed by Good As I Been To You) is what an accomplished guitar player Dylan was and still is, when he wants to. And the rest of the songs aint so bad either. Half an album of songs, almost 40 years old, by a then folk singer, that still hold their ground in the repertory of a man who has for 35 of those years been a rock artist thats in itself a brand of quality. Dont Think Twice, Masters of War, Hard Rain, Girl of the North Country, not to mention Blowin in the Wind I do believe I hear at least one of these every day. Several of the songs are part of the daily routine, of course. It is not the one I play most regularly, but whenever I pick it out, I ask myself why I dont do it more often. Ah, but what can I say! This is the album that is responsible for my addiction to Dylan (and not because I bought it when it was released).
