John Wesley Harding - Plak

ENGLISH

John Wesley Harding is Bob Dylan's eighth studio album, released in December 1967. The album marked Dylan's return to acoustic music and traditional roots, after three albums of electric Rock music. John Wesley Harding shares many stylistic threads with, and was recorded around the same time as, the prolific series of home recording sessions with The Band, finally released in 1975 as The Basement Tapes.<br /> John Wesley Harding was exceptionally well received by critics and enjoyed solid sales, reaching #2 on the US charts and topping the UK charts. The commercial performance was considered remarkable considering that Dylan had kept Columbia from releasing the album with much promotion or publicity. Less than three months after its release, John Wesley Harding was certified gold. "All Along the Watchtower" became one of his most popular songs after it was covered by Jimi Hendrix the following year.<br /> In 2003, the album was ranked number 301 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.<br /> <br /> 180 gram audiophile vinyl <br /> Remastered audio <br /> Mono Edition<br />
