"Blonde on Blonde" completed the trilogy of rock albums that Dylan recorded in 1965 and 1966, starting with "Bringing It All Back Home" and "Highway 61 Revisited". Critics often rank "Blonde on Blonde" as one of the greatest albums of all time. Combining the expertise of Nashville session musicians with a modernist literary sensibility, the album's songs have been described as operating on a grand scale musically, while featuring lyrics one critic called "a unique mixture of the visionary and the colloquial". It was one of the first double albums in rock music.
