Just over 19 years ago, I heard "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan and never looked back.  In the past 19 years I have countless missteps and wrong turns, but there is one thing that I never took for granted or got my signals crossed on, DYLAN.

America's poet laureate turns 76 today.  In celebration of his birthday, our in house Dylan sommelier has given us five vintage Dylan offerings:

1) Highlands

Well my heart's in The Highlands, gentle and fair Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air Bluebells blazing where the Aberdeen waters flow Well my heart's in The Highlands I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go Windows were shaking all night in my dreams Everything was exactly

2) This Wheel's On Fire

If your memory serves you well We were going to meet again and wait So I'm going to unpack all my things And sit before it gets too late No man alive will come to you With another tale to tell But you know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode!

3) Forever Young

4) My Back Pages

Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps "We'll meet on edges, soon, " said I, proud 'neath heated brow Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now Half-wracked prejudice leaped

5) My Back Pages (because both are too good to leave the other out)

Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I, proud 'neath heated brow Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now Girls' faces formed the forward path from phony jealousy To memorizing politics of ancient history Flung down by corpse evangelists, unthought of, though somehow Ah, but I was so much older then.
