Bob Dylan The Essential

Since winning the Nobel Prize in 2016, the first Japan tour will be held. This tour, named after the original album "Rough & Rowdy Ways" announced in 2020, will hold a total of 11 performances, including 5 performances in Tokyo, 3 performances in Osaka, and 3 performances in Nagoya.

This CD commemorates his visit to Japan, but it is an all-time best compilation that is perfect as an introduction to the next generation. 36 representative songs and important songs left over about half a century are packed into 2 CDs, and the playback time exceeds 2 hours and 30 minutes. The historical protest song "Blowin' in the Wind" that made Dylan famous, and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" covered by Clapton, Guns N' Roses and other artists. The masterpiece "Blind Willie McTell," which he called, and "Make You Feel My Love," a surprisingly single-minded and pure love song known for covers of Billy Joel and Adele, are indispensable when talking about Dylan. It is a decision board with many songs that do not exist.

The jacket photo is "Shower over the Great Bridge" by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige Utagawa.
