Bringing It All Back Home (Bob Dylan, 1965)

One of my favorite ways of discovering new music is hearing artists I like say "I was in the same mindframe making this that she was in making that," but this is the first time I can recall an album making a similar impression on me.  I'm headed toward the final stretch of my new mixtape, which I think is a big artistic step forward for me, and listening to this I feel like Dylan was at a similar place in his mental life.  Totally conjecture of course, especially since I'm working back from his future albums and haven't heard any of his prior ones all the way through, but just looking at the progression of songs and at what he was trying to get across, something really connected.  One of the most inspiring and exciting experiences I've had with music.
