For the general listener - like myself - this is a fine intro to the early years in Bob Dylan's musical life. There is enough balance, between the familar and the never-before-heard, to keep the inattentive and unitiated hooked for two hours while cleaning up around the house. I'm not sure what sort of shelf life this sort of narrow (in a good way) and understated piece will have - I supect little. I am left wanting more, that's for sure. Not a bad thing. As a result of listening, I may tune into the Scorcese doc tonight. Mission accomplished. Sort of.
