By 1965, Bob Dylan was the leading songwriter of the American folk music revival. The response to his albums The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and The Times They Are a-Changin' led the media to label him the 'spokesman of a generation'. In March 1965, Dylan released his fifth album, Bringing It All Back Home.
• ' / ' Released: March 8, 1965 • ' / ' Released: June 1965 • ' Released: July 20, 1965 Bringing It All Back Home is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter, released on March 22, 1965. The album is divided into an electric and an acoustic side, although the acoustic side included some tracks in which other instruments were backing up Dylan and his guitar, but no drums were used. On side one of the original LP, Dylan is backed by an electric band—a move that.
Likewise, on the acoustic second side of the album, he distanced himself from the with which he had become closely identified (such as ' and '), as his lyrics continued their trend towards the abstract and personal. The album reached No. 6 on 's Pop Albums chart, the first of Dylan's LPs to break into the US top 10.
It also topped the UK charts later that Spring. The first track, ', became Dylan's first single to chart in the US, peaking at number 39.

His manager, Albert Grossman, also had a place in Woodstock, and when went to see Dylan that August, they stayed at Grossman's house. Baez recalls that 'most of the month or so we were there, Bob stood at the typewriter in the corner of his room, drinking red wine and smoking and tapping away relentlessly for hours. And in the dead of night, he would wake up, grunt, grab a cigarette, and stumble over to the typewriter again.' Dylan already had one song ready for his next album: 'Mr. Tambourine Man' was written in February 1964 but omitted from. Another song, ', was also written earlier that year, appearing in the original manuscripts to Another Side of Bob Dylan; a few lyrical changes were eventually made, but it's unclear if these were made that August in Woodstock. At least two songs were written that month: ' and '.

His prose grew more stylistic as well, often resembling writing with published letters dating from 1964 becoming increasingly intense and dreamlike as the year wore on. Dylan eventually returned to the city, and on August 28, he met with for the first time in their New York hotel (during which Dylan reportedly turned the band on to ), a meeting which would bring about the radical transformation of the Beatles' writing to a more introspective style. In retrospect, this meeting with The Beatles would also prove to be equally influential to the direction of Dylan's music, as he would soon record music invoking a rock sound for at least the next three albums.
Dylan would remain on good terms with The Beatles, and as biographer writes, 'the evening established a personal dimension to the very real rivalry that would endure for the remainder of a momentous decade.' Dylan and producer were soon experimenting with their own fusion of rock and folk music. The first unsuccessful test involved overdubbing a ' early rock & roll thing' over Dylan's earlier, acoustic recording of 'House of the Rising Sun', according to Wilson. This took place in the in December 1964. It was quickly discarded, though Wilson would more famously use the same technique of overdubbing an electric backing track to an existing acoustic recording with 's '. In the meantime, Dylan turned his attention to another folk-rock experiment conducted by, an old friend and musician whose father,, originally signed Dylan to Columbia.
Hammond was planning an electric album around the blues songs that framed his acoustic live performances of the time. To do this, he recruited three members of an American bar band he met sometime in 1963: guitarist, drummer, and organist (members of The Hawks, who would go on to become ). Dylan was very aware of the resulting album, So Many Roads; according to his friend, Danny Kalb, 'Bob was really excited about what John Hammond was doing with electric blues. I talked to him in the Figaro in 1964 and he was telling me about John and his going to and playing with a band and so on ' However, when Dylan and Wilson began work on the next album, they temporarily refrained from their own electric experimentation. The first session, held on January 13, 1965 in Columbia's Studio A in New York, was recorded solo, with Dylan playing piano or acoustic guitar. Ten complete songs and several song sketches were produced, nearly all of which were discarded.
