Album Description

Bob Dylan's 'MTV Unplugged' is a captivating live album, released by Columbia Records on 11 April 1995 in Europe and the UK, and on 2 May 1995 in the US. The album was later reissued by Sony in 2007. Recorded at Sony Music Studios in New York City on 17 and 18 November 1994, this album documents Dylan's memorable appearance on the highly popular MTV Unplugged television series.

Featuring a mix of his classic tracks, the album includes renditions of 'Tombstone Blues', 'Shooting Star', 'All Along the Watchtower', and 'Like a Rolling Stone'. With a duration of 1 hour and 4 minutes, 'MTV Unplugged' is a testament to Dylan's enduring talent and his ability to reimagine his songs in a stripped-down, acoustic setting.

The album was a commercial success, reaching number 23 in the US and number 10 in the UK, while also achieving gold certification. It marked a significant artistic move for Dylan, who had been facing criticism for his live performances in the years leading up to the album's release. 'MTV Unplugged' showcases Dylan's unique voice and mastery of his craft, blending elements of folk rock, folk, singer-songwriter, roots rock, and country rock to create a truly unforgettable listening experience.
