The elements that attracted me to Dylan in the first place, the folk purist with exceptional lyrics, have pretty much disappeared on this album, but I still fell in love with it immediately. Dylan`s new-found mellow delivery helped me through a rather lonely period in my life, so I completely agree with

Personal favourites would be
Girl of the North Country, I threw it all away and
Tonight I`ll be staying here with you.

^ To answer my own question, after he recorded
Country Pie and
Peggy Day, I would have told him straight, "Come on Bob, you can do better than that! Go home and don`t come back until you`ve written something more substantial."

^ Aha ! The contentious topic of our favourite Dylans ! My favs might be:-
1. Freewheelin`
2. John Wesley
3. Nashville Skyline
4. Blood on the Tracks
5. Desire
6. Street Legal
7. Bootleg volumes 1-3
I`m surprised that
New Morning is appearing in the favourite lists. Did it have some great tracks that I`ve forgotten ?
