Bob Dylan - The Best Of Bob Dylan [Remastered] (CD 1997)

Bob Dylan has continued to change styles over the years, so an album like this tends to have such a wide variety that people will love some tracks and not be too keen on others. It also opens up the "How could they leave ..... off?" debates, as everyone will have their own ideas as to what should be included.

This is a pretty good stab at a representative selection of his work from the early/mid 60s through to until 10 years ago (it's a 1997 release).

If you're a dedicated fan then you'll probably have made up your own compilations for the car or iPod, but for the more casual buyer this is a good one to have in the collection. If you know some of his work, but not all, this again is a good introduction to some of the stuff you may not be familiar with and might inspire you to buy other albums.

Either way you can't really lose with this one.

Well what can I say. Young or old; male or female. You'll love this compilation of the 'Jester's' hits. From his 'protest' era to the more romantic 'Lay Lady Lay'. This is the man at his greatest. Buy it, play it all the way through, there are no favourite tracks in my opinion. Highly recommended purchase, give it a go. You'll not be disappointed, I'm sure.
