SONIC EXCELLENCE: New Digital Conversion

INTRO: Dylan won the Nobel prize in literature in 2016.

Peter Klarnet, a senior specialist at Christie’s, called Blowin’ in the Wind “one of the most important songs written in the last century … I very much share T Bone Burnett’s passion for the sonic excellence of analog sound.” Bob Dylan has rerecorded his classic protest song Blowin’ in the Wind for the first time since it was tracked in July 1962 ---- Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom.
