"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" by Bob Dylan

I don't envy anyone who has to assemble a "best of" compilation for the legendary Bob Dylan. What a struggle it would be to choose which songs to include!

Dylan's first chart appearance wasn't until 1965 with "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which hit #39. After that he scored his first #2 hit with "Like A Rolling Stone" (his second #2 hit would be "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35").

Many of his early tunes before he used a band and went "electric" were not successful by chart standards, but arguably represent some of his greatest material, helping to earn him a Nobel Prize in 2016 - the first ever to be bestowed upon a songwriter. "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" takes a break from his sarcastic political commentary and is a deceptively simple break up song. The music is tender, but the lyrics have that trademark Dylan bite.
