Bringing It All Back Home, Bob Dylan's fifth studio album, arrived on Columbia in 1965 with Tom Wilson producing, and it's the record where Dylan plugged in. Side one puts him in front of an electric rock and roll band; side two is mostly acoustic. The protest songs are gone, traded for surreal, tangled, image-drunk lyrics, and the folk scene split down the middle over it.
It opens with "Subterranean Homesick Blues", a rattling, word-spewing rush that became his first single to chart in the US, and it's also home to "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Maggie's Farm", "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". It was his first LP to crack the US Top 10, and it went to number one in Britain that spring. Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde would push the electric experiment further, but this is where the fuse was lit.
