Description

The album that made Dylan a star. The record with the iconic cover. The one with a handful of his most famous songs. But is it as loose and loved-up as that title and photo suggests?

In this episode of Dylan Revisited, we look back at the 18-month period from 1962-3 when the love of Bob Dylan's life was on another continent, a torrent of songs was flowing out of him and the artist he wanted to be was evolving with every recording session and transformed by the influence of new people and events.

Let's revisit The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.

Written, produced and performed by Colm Larkin. Theme music by Frank Harkin. All other music is used for the purposes of illustration and is intended as fair use.
