Blonde On Blonde is believed to be the first significant double album in rock music, its length forcing it to two LPs.
It is notable for injecting Dylan's brand of blues rock, fully established on Highway 61 Revisited, with a more eclectic
sound and even more surreal lyrics.
It also marked the end of an era for Dylan, who would soon be involved in a motorcycle accident, significantly changing his
musical approach.
Recorded in Nashville, the album was produced by Bob Johnston. It peaked at #9 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart in the US,
eventually going double-platinum, while it reached #3 in the UK.
It is ranked as the ninth greatest album of all time by both VH1 and Rolling Stone.
