Lyric Analysis Links

The following are some other sites that I have found useful in my quest to learn more about the lyrics of Bob Dylan. (There are many other sites dedicated to Dylan - and some of them are pretty good - but the ones cited here are of particular interest to those especially interested in Dylan's lyrics).

Subscribe to the Highway 61 Mailing List: This site allows one to subscribe to the Highway 61 Mailing List. A mailing list allows people with a similar interest (or obsession some might say) to communicate with one another electronically via email.

Highway 61 Archives: The "Highway 61 Archives" is the final resting place of all messages posted to either Rec.Music.Dylan or the Highway 61 mailing list. This site allows users to search through all the messages for a particular phrase, such as a song title, for example. At the time of this writing (09/09/98) posts are archived back to Febuary, 1995.

Sony's Bob Dylan Website: Sony's web page is excellent. A "must surf". It also has the lyrics to almost all the offically released songs, with the exception of those from the album Time Out of Mind.
