An artist of
Dylan's magnitude (not to mention his prolific tendencies)
could easily support an entire best-of box set without any
variation in quality, so the three GREATEST HITS volumes
Columbia chose to release are amply filled with gems from
the quintessential singer-songwriter's catalog. Since many
of Dylan's most well-known tunes were included on volume
one, we get to dig a touch deeper into the fertile soil of
his work here. There's the quirky, happy-go-lucky
"When I Paint My Masterpiece," the bluesy,
apocalyptic "Down In the Flood" and scads more.
For neophytes there are still several radio-identified
touchstones, like the surreal, transcendent "Stuck
Inside Of Mobile," the rocking anti-authoritarian
"Maggie's Farm" and the spiritually anthemic
"I Shall Be Released."
