The Times They Are A Changin'

Description

When this fourth album is released, America is still reeling from the assassination of JFK. Dylan tightens his focus and moves away from the eclecticism of his previous work, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Although protest has always been at the heart of his concerns, it is even more pronounced than usual in this record, which features masterpieces of commitment like The Times They Are A-Changin', With God On Our Side, The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll... This is the last time that Zim will be so radical on an entire album. Even removed from its historical context, The Times They Are a-Changin' remains a powerful and prophetic must in the realm of protest songs.
