Freewheelin' has a rather light hearted and satirical tone to it, even in Bob Dylan's Dream it's almost lounge in cheek. Maybe it's because Blowin' in the Wind is such a folk standard and I just listened to the album to review it for my top 100. I just left thinking, man I wished Blowin' in the wind wasn't the first track on this. Maybe you're right, but that was my reaction.
