Blonde on Blonde is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on May 16, 1966, by Columbia Records. The album completes a rock trilogy, with Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. Unsatisfied with the initial recording sessions, Dylan brought his keyboardist Al Kooper and guitarist Robbie Robertson to the CBS studios in Nashville, Tennessee, where all but one of the songs were recorded in February and March. Combining the expertise of Nashville session musicians with a modernist literary sensibility, the album's songs have been described as operating on a grand scale musically, while featuring lyrics that the writer Michael Gray called "a unique blend of the visionary and the colloquial". One of the first rock double albums, it peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart in the US, where it eventually went double-platinum, and reached No. 3 in the UK. Blonde on Blonde spawned two top twenty singles in the US: "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" and "I Want You". "Just Like a Woman" and "Visions of Johanna" made Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. The album has consistently ranked high in greatest-albums polls. (Full article...)
