About the artist
Bob Dylan, born Robert Zimmerman in 1941, emerged from the Minnesota folk scene before relocating to New York City's Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, where he became a defining voice of the American folk revival. Drawing on traditions of folk, blues, and country, he built a body of work rooted in vivid storytelling and dense, literary lyricism that set him apart from his contemporaries almost immediately.
Dylan's early protest songs, including «Blowin' in the Wind» and «The Times They Are A-Changin'», turned him into an emblem of 1960s social and political upheaval, though he consistently resisted the label of spokesman for his generation. His decision to go electric in the mid-1960s, culminating in songs like «Like a Rolling Stone» and «Subterranean Homesick Blues», provoked controversy among folk purists but proved pivotal in expanding the possibilities of rock songwriting.
Across more than six decades, Dylan has continually reinvented his sound and persona, moving through folk-rock, country, gospel, and beyond, while his catalog, from «All Along the Watchtower» to later works like «Murder Most Foul», remains a touchstone for songwriters across genres. In 2016 he became the first songwriter awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, cementing his status as one of the most influential figures in modern music.
