Editing Bringing It All Back Home (section)

== Reception ==

The release of ''Bringing It All Back Home'' coincided with the final show of a joint tour with [[Joan Baez]]. By this time, Dylan had grown far more popular and acclaimed than Baez, and his music had radically evolved from their former shared folk style in a totally unique direction. It would be the last time they would perform extensively together until 1975. (She would accompany him on another tour in May 1965, but Dylan would not ask her to perform with him.) The timing was appropriate as ''Bringing It All Back Home'' signaled a new era. Dylan was backed by an electric [[rock and roll]] band—a move that further alienated him from some of his former peers in the folk music community.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} The album reached No. 6 on ''[[Billboard charts|Billboard]]''{{'}}s Pop Albums chart, the first of Dylan's LPs to break into the US top 10. It also topped the UK charts later that spring. The first track, "[[Subterranean Homesick Blues]]", became Dylan's first single to chart in the US, peaking at #39.
