Editorial Review:
Dylan's outstanding second album is a tremendous jump from its predecessor. Whereas the debut established him as a peerless interpreter of folk and country-blues classics, and a singer like none before, this followup features some of the most pungent original songs of the '60s. "Blowin' in the Wind," "Masters of War," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," "I Shall Be Free": if this sounds like the lineup for a greatest-hits collection, you've got the idea. Nat Hentoff's liner notes are charmingly dated, but Dylan's idiosyncratic singing, unexpected lyrics, and inimitable guitar and harmonica playing are as immediate and relevant as whatever you heard on the radio today. (As great as this is, there's much more: a handful of top-rank outtakes from Freewheelin' appear on the Bootleg Series box set.) --Jimmy Guterman
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Reviews:
The Breakout Album 
2009-12-24 - Dylan's second album, the one that first made him famous, is filled with great songs, from the deceptively simple "Blowin' in the Wind" to his first experiment at using poetry in his lyrics, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall." There are some throwaway songs. Dylan's songwriting brilliance is made clear, but he hasn't yet figured out how to make the album stand as a unit, a characteristic he would have in the albums that followed this one.
Freewheelin' has the first of his protest songs, the kind of music that would make him famous and from which he would rebel. Overall, this is an essential album for Dylan fans precisely because it illustrated how quickly he was developing and showed that even at a very early age he was already the best songwriter around.
--Lawrence J. Epstein, author of Political Folk Music in America from Its Origins to Bob Dylan
Freewheeling Bob Dylan is a must
2009-10-12 - If you are a true Bob Dylan fan, Freewheeling Bob Dylan is a must. I already have it on a record but it is well-worn and I just can't lose these songs. I already have the 3 CD compilation set 'Biography' which has the most well know songs from this CD on it. Unfortunately, it doesn't include 'The Talking World War 3 Blues' and 'I Shall Be Free'. These are some of his great comic songs with wonderful, imaginative lyrics that paint hilarious pictures in your mind. I also have many of his other albums which I love too but 'Freewheeling' will always be my favorite. Also HOW I got the original 'Freewheeling' record I'll never forget. In high school I traded another kid a 'Jan and Dean' album of surfer boy songs for it. ha!! We both left the transaction thinking we got the best of the other one. So to my high school friend Donald, wherever you are: SUCKER!! ha, ha.
If you are really a Bob Dylan fan, trust me, Don't miss adding 'The Freewheeling Bob Dylan' to your collection.
The First Of Many Great Album's By Bob Dylan
2009-06-19 - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was realesed back in 1963 over 46 years ago yet still is a timeless and classic album. This was way back when Dylan was still a folkie and two years before he plugged in. This album's topics range from things that were maijor topics over 40 years ago, segeragation, nuclear warfare, and well change of course. Tracks such as, "Blowin' In The Wind", and "Masters Of War", find Dylan protesting against segregation and war and the millitary(the masters of war), and in the song he sings, "And I hope you die", were lyrics that were never sung or recorded ever before till then. Songs like, "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall", was about that something was going to happen due to the fact it was written at a time when the whole world feared that nuclear anhilation was eminent, "Talking World War Three Blues", was about a sort of dream Dylan had about how World War Three happened and how it was "just a bad dream". Freewheelin' finds Dylan for the first time writing songs with protest and meaning, and like I said was and is the first of the many great albums Dylan has came out with.
One of my favourite Bob Dylan albums
2009-05-01 - This is a wonderful album by Bob Dylan! It's got the hit, "Blowin' in the Wind" as well as one of my favourites, "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". The other songs are great as well and many easy-listening songs. Definitely recommend this one!
This is awesome, just Dylan and his guitar!
2009-04-24 - I love this and the first album, they give you such insight into Dylan and show you where a lot of other artists have drawn their inspiration from. I love this disc, it's a must have for any acoustic music lover.
