Dylan is still in his traditional folk period here, although the signs are starting to show that he has a unique voice and delivery, as witnessed by the excellent Handsome Molly and Poor Lazarus, both fine songs worthy of our attention. Omie Wise has never really been one of my favorites, but it's still interesting to hear as an example of the kind of songs Dylan was singing in those days. The last two songs are the most dispensible, and in fact Acne is pretty painful to listen to even though you realize it's supposed to be a joke.
