Discovery With Eric Senich

This episode of DISCovery is all about rock’s first great double album – Bob Dylan’s ‘Blonde on Blonde’ from 1966. In fact, it’s the first double album ever released. This album came at what was Bob Dylan’s creative peak. As he told Rolling Stone in 1969, “I was going at a tremendous speed at the time of my ‘Blonde on Blonde’ album. The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind.” He described it as having “that thin, wild, mercury sound.”Rolling Stone described 'Blonde on Blonde' as a chain-lightning mix of rock & roll, novelty music, surrealist ballads, Chicago blues and psychedelic country with peels of lyrical invention and epic song lengths.We’ll get into the 14 classic tracks (listed below), the meaning behind the album title and the story behind the iconic cover photo. Plus, hear clips from Dylan’s legendary press conference held in December of 1965 in San Francisco.SIDE ONE:1. "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"2. "Pledging My Time"3. "Visions of Johanna"4.
