The FBD Album

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was Dylan's second studio album, released in 1963 by Columbia Records. The album, still frequently cited as one of his best, established Dylan as a songwriter of premier importance. Where his debut, Bob Dylan, had featured only two originals, Freewheelin' contained only two covers, the traditional tune "Corrina, Corrina," and "Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance." Dylan was one of few popular artists at the time to record his own compositions.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan reached #22 in the US (eventually going platinum), and later became a #1 hit in the UK in 1965. In 2002, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

The FBD Sessions

Dylan spent an extensive period in the studio in readiness for the final album, honing his own compositions as well as classics written by other artists, working with iconic producer John Hammond.

With the working title at the time of Bob Dylan's Blues, these sessions took place in NYC intermittently between April- Nov 1962.

Due to Dylan recording material over several months in preparation for the album, there was a very large surplus of songs that simply didn’t make the cut. Of the several original songs and cover tunes that were recorded, some he would revisit later, and some of the others would be released officially many many years later on The Bootleg Series. Most of the tracks remain officially unreleased.

The Verdict

But I'm walkin' and wonderin'
And my poor feet don't ever stop
Seein' my reflection
I'm hung over, hung down, hung up!

All these tracks are great, originals and covers alike, and the recording quality is nigh perfect.

This is a fascinating period in the career of Bob, being the real extended genesis of Dylan the songwriter, rather than the singer of other people's songs. You just have to stand in awe of such songwriting ability coming apparently from nowhere in someone so young (this topic is explored wonderfully in Dylan's majestic Chronicles Volume 1), the songwriting also perfectly capturing Bob's personality, humanity and off-kilter sense of humour .

You can feel the presence of the best aspects of the folk and blues music he was immersed in at that time (the twitching ghosts of Woody Guthrie, Jimmy Rogers, the old time Appalachian folk singers and the delta blues boys) but also feel a brand new musical and lyrical landscape being created where nothing existed before.

These songs are great. This boot is great. Hope you enjoy!

Review from www.bobsboots.com

“A great package. The cover is an alternate photo from the Don Hunstien West 4th street photo shoot that produced the official LP cover. Inside is Dylan at CBS studio NY with famed producer John Hammond. The recordings are clear, crisp, and right off of the mix down board. This CD belongs in every collection. It was re-released in 1999 by an unknown Label, and again in 2001 by OMR.”
