Bringing It All Back Home is a folk rock album by American musician Bob Dylan, released on March 22, 1965 (see 1965 in music). As the first album that fully blends rock and roll with folk music (the first seven songs, originally side one of the LP format, feature Dylan backed by a plugged-in band, while the remaining four, side two, are Dylan solo with acoustic guitar), Bringing It All Back Home remains one of the pioneering albums of folk rock. It includes one of Dylan's signature songs, "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which has a jangly electric guitar and characteristic stream-of-consciousness semi-nonsensical lyrics.
Bringing It All Back Home peaked at #6 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. The single "Subterranean Homesick Blues" peaked at #39 and #6 on the Pop Singles and Adult Contemporary charts, respectively.
In 2003 the TV network VH1 named Bringing It All Back Home the 53rd greatest album of all time.
