John Wesley Harding

Bob Dylan

Twelve austere parables recorded in a Nashville winter. Sparse, rhythm-heavy folk that trades psychedelic sprawl for biblical mystery and dry, wooden percussion.

December 27, 1967 · Columbia

A quiet, disciplined collection of folk parables that feels both ancient and urgent.
