The album combines driving blues-based music with the subtlety of poetry which creates songs that captured the political and cultural chaos of contemporary America. Features the singles 'Like a Rolling Stone', 'From a Buick 6', 'Highway 61 Revisited' and 'Queen Jane Approximately'. Review: Not his best, but still a masterpeice. - Despite lacking the variety and sheer genius of Bring it All Back Home, Highway 61 is still a Masterpiece. It contains some of Dylan's most ambitious song-writing and it shows off his fiery attitude. I particularly love the imagery, humour and commentary on Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues, the song is almost like a novel. Tombstone Blue’s of one of Dylan best rockers. Like a Rolling Stone is pure genius. Desolation Row is a beautiful and through provoking song that justifies it’s running time. I think its sad but incredible that the opening lines “They're selling postcards of the hanging.. the circus is in town” where inspired by lynching of three back men who where accused of raping a white woman in his home town Duluth. I will say that It Takes a lot to Laugh , it Takes a Train to Cry and From a Buick 6 whilst not bad songs in there own right do feel like filler when compared to the incredibly high standard of the album. Also if you’re new to Dylan this maybe is not the best place to start as the length of some of the songs and the lack of catchy melodies may put some people off but I would still put in my top 5 Dylan Albums. Review: An excellent, mostly acoustic guitar to listen to attentively or to chill to. - Bought this for my partner who is a pretty big, if casual, Bob Dylan fan. I wanted to get her an album on vinyl as opposed to a ‘Best Of’ or ‘Greatest Hits’ as I don’t think they translate as well to vinyl as ‘the listening to a whole album experience’ goes or should go anyway. I did a little research and Googling trying to find which is generally as the ‘best’ Dylan album, and this one tended to top or at least be in the top handful of most lists. That surprised me a bit as (as a fellow casual Dylan fan) I only recognised two songs (‘Like a Rolling Stone’ and ‘Desolation Row’) the others I had never heard of and was rather skeptical of this albums’ overall quality because of the lack of ‘hits’ thankfully, the other songs are great too. ‘Tombstone Blues’ especially stands out for me, but trust me when I say ALL the songs are great. This is a perfect, mostly acoustic guitar album you can stick in your vinyl player and either listen to attentively or have in the background as you relax. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B013QJ4RZK | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,534 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 124 in Folk Rock 1,426 in Vinyl | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,342) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 2724475909948 | | Label | Sony Music Cmg | | Manufacturer | Sony Music Cmg | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 31.75 x 31.75 x 0.33 cm; 235.87 g | ## Images ![Highway 61 Revisited [VINYL] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611ybkIvKnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not his best, but still a masterpeice. *by H***X on 12 May 2017* Despite lacking the variety and sheer genius of Bring it All Back Home, Highway 61 is still a Masterpiece.

So I purchased this CD after watching the film. A Complete Unknown. A reminder just what an amazing talent Bob Dylan is. p.s. Also ordered the film from Amazon 😀 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48704689-highway-61-revisited-vinyl](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48704689-highway-61-revisited-vinyl) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
