The Dylan Library II

So far I've listened to the first one, John Wesley Harding, and Self-Portrait.  I am amazed at how good Dylan sounds coming from 1961.  It's good to hear his song tribute to Woody Gurthrie, and the first song on the disc, You're No Good, are especially great.  The talking New York song is still entertaining and funny.  JWH sounds so good from 1968.  I had forgotten that "All Along the Watchtower" is from this album.  The Self-Portrait album did not receive great critical acclaim, but I remember it from the summer of 1970.  The Dylan voice sounds strong from so long ago.
