"The Times They Are A-Changin'", Track #9

DAVID DIXON: This is one of the greatest of the early "injustice" songs-a neglected jewel in the Dylan catalog. He crafted a song of evocative images, intense alliteration, and using rhyme only when it suited him, into a call for listeners to mourn at corruption and injustice-all from a newspaper article. After all these years, it still reverberates with passion when he sings it in concerts. (12/20/07)

BILL COHEN: Powerful testimonial about the law as it relates to the rich and the poor. So prophetic. Still happening today. The indifference of the rich murder is gripping. William Zanzinger wound up with a 6 month suspended sentence. (01/27/06)

CJE: best of the early songs. performance of it on 'Don't look back' is stunning (05/03/05)
