THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' is the third studio album by Bob Dylan, released on January 13, 1964 by Columbia Records. Whereas his previous albums BOB DYLAN and THE FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN consisted of original material among cover songs, Dylan's third album was the first to feature only original compositions.
The album consists mostly of stark, sparsely arranged ballads concerning issues such as racism, poverty, and social change. The title track is one of Dylan's most famous; many feel that it captures the spirit of social and political upheaval that characterized the 1960s.
The real songbook of THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' does not exist. The songs from the album can be found on many 60s compilation songbooks, but they are not gathered on a single one.
There is a songbook titled THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN, (note: A CHANGIN, not A-CHANGIN'), but it is actually a compilation of songs from THE FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN and THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' plus some other songs, unreleased at the time of publication.
