There is Anger Here and it's Great

""Another Side" is one of my favorite Dylan albums. I must confess, I really, really like his early stuff. I love the anger in his voice back then. Yes the stuff that comes later is very good, especially "Blood on the Tracks" which kind of reminds me of "Another Side" in a lot of ways, but this record, the last acoustic record Dylan will do for a very long time, is something very special. "Chimes of Freedom" is my favorite all time Dylan song and like "The Times They Are A-Changing," it still has meaning today. It Ain't Me Babe" is sort of like a love song in reverse and you can't help but love it. When Dylan was young, he was angry and it shows in his music and it's good. No, it's great!"

So Much Older Then

"For me "My Back Pages" is the best song on this record, because it so captures the way I felt when I was growing up. I knew so much more than my mother, really I did. But you know how it goes, as you get older, you realize just how much you didn't know and I didn't know a lot and Bob Dylan really nails this. "It Ain't Me, Babe" is probably the most famous song on this album, but there are others just as good, like "To Ramona" and "Ballad in Plain D" for instance. And, of course, I have to mention the ultimate protest song, the ultimate political song, "Chimes of Freedom." If that song doesn't make you want to rages against the establishment and try to make a difference, nothing ever will."
