Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Dylan's outstanding second album is a tremendous jump from its predecessor. Whereas the debut established him as a peerless interpreter of folk and country-blues classics, and a singer like none before, this followup features some of the most pungent original songs of the '60s. "Blowin' in the Wind," "Masters of War," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," "I Shall Be Free": if this sounds like the lineup for a greatest-hits collection, you've got the idea. Nat Hentoff's liner notes are charmingly dated, but Dylan's idiosyncratic singing, unexpected lyrics, and inimitable guitar and harmonica playing are as immediate and relevant as whatever you heard on the radio today. (As great as this is, there's much more: a handful of top-rank outtakes from Freewheelin' appear on the Bootleg Series box set.) --Jimmy Guterman Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bloomin' GeniusAs I kind of mental exercise, I recently tried imagining listening to this record as though it were 1963. It wasn't as easy as all that. I WAS alive in '63, but I was 10 years old and only vaguely aware of the "Great Folk Scare" that was taking root at the time. I would go on to get into Dylan in a big way as a teenager, but that was the ELECTRIFIED Dylan. The early stuff seemed like something to be respected, even revered, but even though no one could deny the strength of "Blowin' In the Wind" ... Read More Rating: - A Voice Like a Claw that Reaches into Your GutI was a junior back at Lakewood High School when this record came out just two weeks after my seventeenth birthday. My dad brought it by the house (my parents were divorced) and really surprised me. I'd liked his first record, but I was still listening to The Kingston Trio, that kind of music. Lord I loved The Kingston Trio from the Hungry I record. But that all changed when I heard this record, which sadly I didn't play for a couple months. I'd been familiar with "Blowing in the Wind," ... Read More Rating: - As Important Now as it was Over Forty Years AgoThis is Bob Dylan's second album, recorded way back in the early Sixties, when he was barely twenty years old. It includes "Blowin' in the Wind" which I'm told took America by storm when Peter, Paul and Mary sang it. Then it became sort of the anthem of those protesting the Vietnam war. What a burden all this must have put on a young man's shoulders. Fortunately Bob Dylan was up to the task and didn't crack under the pressure of it all. Now, it's over four decades later and Dylan is still pumping out ... Read More Rating: - A Young Poet Who Grabs You With His WordsThis is Bob Dylan's second album, but it's the one that made him known to the general public at large. He penned most of the songs on the record, including the famous, "Blowing in the Wind," a song that would live on for generations. Also included on this record is the very long and very good, "A Hard Rain Must Fall," which tells the story of a man asking his young son questions. The answers, if you listen to them, will really move you and get you to asking a lot of questions yourself. "Girl From the ... Read More Rating: - The Breakout AlbumDylan's second album, the one that first made him famous, is filled with great songs, from the deceptively simple "Blowin' in the Wind" to his first experiment at using poetry in his lyrics, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall." There are some throwaway songs. Dylan's songwriting brilliance is made clear, but he hasn't yet figured out how to make the album stand as a unit, a characteristic he would have in the albums that followed this one. Freewheelin' has the first of his protest songs, the kind ... Read More
