Who Is Bob Dylan?
Born Robert Zimmerman on May 24th 1941, Bob Dylan is an American Folk Singer who has released a massive collection of over 60 Studio Albums.Growing up in Small Town Hibbing, Minnesota, listening to Rock n Roll influences such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly and Little Richard, Dylan loved the music scene but wanted to take part himself. He played in various Rock n Roll bands but the never really amounted to anything.
At age 20, he moved to New York City where he was soon busy playing the circuit around Greenwich village, performing under the stage name Bob Dylan. It was around this time that the Singer visited his own Folk Hero Woody Guthrie in the hospital where the aged Folk singer from Folk Revival of a Previous generation was dying. I think both singers were affected by this gesture and Dylan wrote his ‘Song To Woody’ which featured on his self titled Solo Album Bob Dylan which was released o n the 19th of March.
Dylan’s own Songs
Bob Dylan’s Debut album was almost wholly cover songs except for ‘Song to Woody’. But on his Second album which became a big hit ‘The Freewheelin Bob Dylan’, he sings a lot more original material with Eleven out of te album’s Thirteen tracks being his own compositions. However, his Third album which is this one here; The Times They area Changin’ was his First album that consisted wholly of his own material.
