4	''Another Side of Bob Dylan'' is the fourth studio album by Music/BobDylan, released in 1964. It marked his transition from [[ProtestSong protest songs]] to impressionistic, expressive lyrics, which caused his first major backlash from fans and critics. The album is best remembered for "It Ain't Me Babe", "Chimes of Freedom" and "My Back Pages".
