John Wesley Harding — 1967

A spare, parable-like retreat from psychedelia toward acoustic mystery. Quiet and influential. A pivotal record. Holds up as a strong record in its own right, not just context.

On vinyl: Original pressings are collector's territory now, so most listeners reach for a well-reviewed reissue.
