The sleeve notes on the US LP were arranged into five "Thoughts," the first four of which are a general critique of The Hollies.
Reprinted below is Thought #5 which is specific to the Words And Music By Bob Dylan album.
Thought #5: Few groups would dare to tackle an album of Bob Dylan's songs, let alone be able to pull it off. Despite Dylan's magnificent presence, this is still a Hollies album. The fact that most of the material is familiar should help people who have been into other things to see the beauty in The Hollies' very original approach. My favorites are the good-timey "When The Ship Comes In," the intense "This Wheel's On Fire" and "I Shall Be Released," and the gospel-ish "Quit Your Lowdown Ways," but for sheer guts the most impressive cut is probably "Blowin' In The Wind" on which The Hollies manage to be intimidated neither by Dylan's vesion nor by the hit arrangement by Peter, paul and Mary; somehow they can bring freshness even to one of the most familiar tunes in pop history. Although it focuses on the writing of only one composer, The Hollies' Words And Music By Bob Dylan has tremendous depth and variety.
I have been shouting unabashedly about The Hollies for years. Maybe this time it will make a difference.
