Bob Dylan- JOHN WESLEY HARDING- CD- 1967/2003- Sony Music Entertainment Inc.- 5099751234722- 400 grn
JOHN WESLEY HARDING is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on 27th December 1967, by Columbia Records. The album marked Dylan's return to semi-acoustic instrumentation and folk-influenced songwriting after three albums of lyrically abstract, blues-indebted rock music. Less than three months after its release, JOHN WESLEY HARDING was certified Gold. "All Along The Watchtower" became one of his most popular songs after Jimi Hendrix's rendition was released in the autumn of 1968. The album is named after Texas outlaw John Wesley Hardin, whose name was misspelled. A calm, reflective album, JOHN WESLEY HARDING strips away all of the wilder tendencies of Dylan's rock albums, but it isn't a return to his folk roots. If anything, the album is his first serious foray into country. JOHN WESLEY HARDING is informed by the rustic sound of country, as well as many rural myths, with seemingly simple songs revealing several layers of meaning. Although the lyrics are somewhat enigmatic, the music is simple, direct, and melodic, providing a touchstone for the country-rock revolution that swept through rock in the late '60s.
PERSONNEL: Bob Dylan – acoustic guitar, harmonica, piano, vocals; Kenneth A. Buttrey – drums; Pete Drake – pedal steel guitar; Charlie McCoy – bass guitar.
Bob Dylan‘s JOHN WESLEY HARDING is an album of half-spoken secrets, hushed whispers, illegible writings, and missing pages. It has the feel of antiquity settled on it, like decades upon decades of quietly accumulating dust. It is beautifully anachronistic and elusive. It is hard, gritty, and seemingly impenetrable. It is blindingly complex. Addictively rewarding. JOHN WESLEY HARDING is classic Bob Dylan. Dylan vacated his post as the voice of a generation when he crashed his motorcycle in 1966, retreating to Woodstock, New York, to recuperate. After months of quiet country life spent reading the Bible and recording the wonderfully intimate sessions, Dylan was ready to return to the world of rock music. He went down to Nashville and cut the album that exposed the great divide that had grown between Dylan, the folkie, hipster, electric guitar-playing Judas, and the Hippie generation that he had helped to create. He traded in his shades for bifocals, his wild mane of tousled brown hair now neat and shorn, his hip defiant Beat demeanor replaced by a wiser, older, bearded persona. In short, as Dylan had done many times before and would do many times again, he had reinvented himself. Dylan’s new music was coarse and brittle. Kenny Buttrey’s dry, crackling drums, Charles McCoy’s thumping bass, Dylan’s grating harmonica, and occasional piano. The album is incredibly still. The songs are stark morality tales in an economical, simple language straight out of Ecclesiastes or Proverbs. The Book Of Revelation looms large on JOHN WESLEY HARDING. In its twelve short tracks, JOHN WESLEY HARDING tells the story of the vast sweep of human experience. There is death, fear, love, redemption sought, and redemption gained. While its flashy predecessors, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde, often claim the bulk of admiration, JOHN WESLEY HARDING‘s sharp, clear vision and tight execution make it Dylan’s most cohesive album. JOHN WESLEY HARDING won’t be overlooked precisely because of its seeming agelessness. But in a deeper, more intuitive sense, it sounded as if it had been around forever, addressing questions that have been around forever and always will be.
