The Best Of Bob Dylan Volume 2
With all of this great work so far in the past, you'd feel like giving in too.
For a writer who has specialised in oblique lyricism, it's an unusually frank statement. "I used to care but things have changed", buzzes Bob Dylan on 'Things Have Changed' , the loyalty bonus for long-term fans buying this compilation.

Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan: Wikipedia Album Entry
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's second studio album, released in May 1963 by Columbia Records.
Dylan's debut album, Bob Dylan, had featured just two original songs. Freewheelin' contained just two covers, the traditional tune "Corrina, Corrina", and "Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance" — which Dylan re-wrote extensively. All the other songs were Dylan originals and the Freewheelin' album showcased for the first time Dylan's song-writing talent. The album kicked off with "Blowin' In The Wind", which would become one of Dylan's most celebrated songs. In July 1963, the song became an international hit for folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary.
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan reached number 22 in the US (eventually going platinum), and later became a number 1 hit in the UK in 1965. It was one of 50 recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in this sand?

I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kinda words he could say
