Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Bob Dylan alcanza su cima de la era eléctrica con este expansivo y legendario doble álbum. Grabado en Nashville con músicos de sesión excepcionales, 'Blonde on Blonde' posee ese "sonido salvaje y mercurial" que Dylan buscaba. La música es fluida y etérea, una mezcla de blues, rock y folk que crea un telón de fondo perfecto para sus letras surrealistas. El álbum explora las complejidades del amor y el deseo con una poesía deslumbrante y a menudo impenetrable.
Canciones como "Visions of Johanna" o la épica "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" se encuentran entre las composiciones más ambiciosas y aclamadas de toda su carrera. 'Blonde on Blonde' es considerado por muchos como uno de los mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos, un monumento al genio creativo en su punto más álgido.

Letra
The guilty undertaker sighs, The lonely organ grinder cries, The silver saxophones say I should refuse you. The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn, But it's not that way, I wasn't born to lose you. I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you. The drunken politician leaps Upon the street where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep, They wait for you. And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinkin' from my broken cup And ask me to Open up the gate for you. I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you. Now all my fathers, they've gone down, True love they've been without it. But all their daughters put me down Cause I don't think about it. Well, I return to the Queen of Spades And talk with my chambermaid. She knows that I'm not afraid To look at her. She is good to me And there's nothing she doesn't see. She knows where I'd like to be But it doesn't matter. I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you. Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit, He spoke to me, I took his flute. No, I wasn't very cute to him, Was I? But I did it, though, because he lied Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side And because I I want you, I want you, I want you so bad, Honey, I want you. - Memphis Blues Again7:05

Letra
Well, your railroad gage, you know I just can't jump it Sometimes it gets so hard, you see I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet With all these promises you left for me But where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well, I waited for you when I was half sick Yes, I waited for you when you hated me Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic When you knew I had some other place to be Now where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately. Well, six white horses that you did promise Were fin'ly delivered down to the penitentiary But to live outside the law, you must be honest I know you always say that you agree But where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well I don't know how it happened But the river-boat captain he knows my fate But ev'rybody else, even yourself They're just gonna have to wait. Well, I got the fever down in my pockets The Persian drunkard, he follows me Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it You see, you forgot to leave me with the key Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed That a man can't give his address out to bad company And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad In the ruins of your balcony Wond'ring where you are tonight, sweet Marie? - 4th Time Around4:35
Letra
When she said, "Don't waste your words, they're just lies," I cried she was deaf. And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes, Then said, "What else you got left?" It was then that I got up to leave But she said, "Don't forget, Everybody must give something back For something they get." I stood there and hummed, I tapped on her drum And asked her how come. And she buttoned her boot, And straightened her suit, Then she said, "Don't get cute." So I forced my hands in my pockets And felt with my thumbs, And gallantly handed her My very last piece of gum. She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked. And after finding I'd forgotten my shirt, I went back and knocked. I waited in the hallway, she went to get it, And I tried to make sense Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair That leaned up against-- Her Jamaican rum And when she did come, I asked her for some. She said, "No, dear." I said, "Your words aren't clear, You'd better spit out your gum." She screamed till her face got so red, Then she fell on the floor, And I covered her up and then Thought I'd go look through her drawer. And when I was through I filled up my shoe and brought it to you. And you, you took me in, You loved me then, you never wasted time. And I, I never took much, I never asked for your crutch And I don't ask for mine. - Obviously 5 Believers3:35
