Bob Dylan (legally Robert Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer and songwriter. Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture during a career spanning more than 60 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and antiwar movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture.
Dylan was born and raised in St. Louis County, Minnesota. Following his self-titled debut album in 1962, which comprised mainly traditional folk songs, he made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan the following year. The album features "Blowin' in the Wind" and the thematically complex "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall". Many of his songs adapted the tunes and phraseology of older folk songs. He went on to release the politically charged The Times They Are a-Changin' and the more lyrically abstract and introspective Another Side of Bob Dylan in 1964. In 1965 and 1966, Dylan drew controversy among folk purists when he adopted electrically amplified rock instrumentation, and in the space of 15 months recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the 1960s: Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited (both 1965) and Blonde on Blonde (1966). His six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone" (1965) expanded commercial and creative boundaries in popular music.
In July 1966, a motorcycle accident led to Dylan's withdrawal from touring. During this period, he recorded a large body of songs with members of the Band, who had previously backed him on tour. These recordings were released as the collaborative album The Basement Tapes in 1975. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dylan explored country music and rural themes in John Wesley Harding (1967), Nashville Skyline (1969), and New Morning (1970). In 1975, he released Blood on the Tracks, which many saw as a return to form. In the late 1970s, he became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock-based idiom in the early 1980s. Dylan's 1997 album Time Out of Mind marked the beginning of a renaissance for his career. He has released five critically acclaimed albums of original material since then, the most recent being Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020). He also recorded a series of three albums in the 2010s comprising versions of traditional American standards, especially songs recorded by Frank Sinatra. Dylan has toured continuously since the late 1980s on what has become known as the Never Ending Tour.
Since 1994, Dylan has published nine books of paintings and drawings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. He has sold more than 145 million records,[11] making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. Dylan has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Pulitzer Prize Board in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power". In 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".

Love Dylan music don't care what other people think he is not for everyone but who is would be boring if we all liked the same person but what I can't understand is all insult he gets love his style and his voice
Dylan is the greatest.
I dont know if anyone else can relate to this story about Bob Dylan.. Many years ago I was under the impression that Bob Dylan did not like or enjoy playing gigs/live shows. I dont know why. I think it had something to do with his demeanour on stage. I had never seen him live. I only saw film of live concerts.I was curious about this, being a live musician most of my life and I understood how important it was to enjoy what you were playing and the difference it could make between a good show and a bad show. I was puzzled to put it mildly. Some years later I came accross an interview with Bob Dylan. The interviewer asked. "Bob, you didnt look happy up there tonight, were there sound problems?" Bob answered, polite as usual.. "No, nothing like that. It's just very hard to sing" A hard rain is gonna fall"with a smile on your face.. The silly interviewer didnt get it and Bob went on to explain.. "Playing live shows is what I love to do and in some ways it's the only reason I record abums. The recordings promote my shows.I need to record in order to promote my live shows, which is what I really like to do best".. Needless to say, Bob Dylan,s answer knocked me for 6 but it should not have, now that I think about playing live shows. There are not many things to surpass playing a good live gig, especially when you have put your heart and soul into playing your own own songs. I have to say that was a real eye opener. Thanks Bob. You keep playing and I,ll keep listening.
Charisma? I'd heard Dylan for several years before I ever saw him in person - I knew the word and its dictionary definition, but never knew what it MEANT until that day. He walked out on a bare stage in front of a sold-out house with nothing but an acoustic guitar, positioned himself in front of a single microphone and planted his feet like he owned the building - he just as easily could have been Julius Caesar or Napoleon Bonaparte - he just radiated power, magnetism and confidence in a way I'd never seen in my life. The crowd fell silent and without saying a word, he just started playing - no one's attention strayed for even a heartbeat until he stopped playing and walked off the stage - again, without saying a word. The place went crazy. I finally had experienced what charisma really means. There's really no way to describe it...
Then there's Dylan. I think this weekend I'll do another deep dive and play all his albums in a row. Done it a few times before over the last 50 years. One more cup of coffee 'fore I go. To the valley below. Ain't Bobby so cool. A lifelong friend. Thank you Bob.
Like a rolling stone. My mother bought the album Highway 61 revisited the day it was released. I was 7 years old. It is how I have lived my life ever since.
Dylan is not for the masses, the pop music fans. I am so grateful that I appreciate him.
I don’t know of any other person who has had had more said about him, written, photographed, filmed, discussed, analyzed, pondered about for half a century than Bob Dylan.
To grow up with Dylan and the Beatles...amazing.
“He made folk music political” is a ridiculous statement for someone who considers themselves a music historian. And the records didn’t “just happen.” They came together quickly because of the quality and knowledge of the musicians.
“There is Dylan….and there is everybody else”.
"You'll never know the hurt I've suffered nor the pain I rise above. And I'll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love and it makes me feel so sorry". Idiot wind. Love.
It's like JOAN said, n I'm paraphrasing,
Blood On The Tracks is the ultimate masterpiece he painted I think
Lifelong Dylan fan. Well done.
Definitely the greatest songs of my generation passed through Dylan.. he was smart enough to catch them on their way through because they only come once
we are lucky to have him
The last guy's statement nails it,..."THERE''S DYLAN, THEN THERE'S EVERYBODY ELSE"! Great documentary on such a musical genius!
Who else but Bob Dylan can sing one of his songs and every time he sings it is always different not just three or four times BUT every single time as if it was the first time you hear it PURE GENIUS amazing and blest
Can’t get enough of Dylan!
