More about Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan ascended to prominence as a counter-cultural figure in the early 1960s with the release of a series of political anthems from the Greenwich Village folk scene in New York City.
Dylan, born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, received the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature before any other songwriter. He was praised by the Swedish Academy for "creating new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."
His compositions have been covered by artists as diverse as The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, and Adele, all of whom have achieved commercial and critical success with their renditions.
