#Highway61Revisited is the sixth studio #album by American singer-songwriter #BobDylan, released on August 30, #1965. Having until then recorded mostly acoustic music, Dylan used #rock musicians as his backing band on every track of the album, except for the closing track, the 11-minute ballad "Desolation Row". Critics have focused on the innovative way #Dylan combined driving, #blues-based #music with the subtlety of #poetry to create songs that captured the #political and #cultural #chaos of contemporary America. Author Michael Gray has argued that, in an important sense, the #1960s "started" with this album.
Leading with the hit song "Like a Rolling Stone", the album features songs that Dylan has continued to perform live over his long career, including "Ballad of a Thin Man" and the title track. He named the album after the major #American #highway which connected his birthplace of #Duluth, #Minnesota, to southern cities famed for their musical heritage, including St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, and the Delta blues area of Mississippi.
