Known for songs such as “Watchtower,” “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Blowin in the wind,” Bob Dylan is one of the most talented musical artist of modern times. When he came of age, he left home to pursue an college education there in Minnesota, but ended up dropping out of college to pursue a career as a professional musician. While performing in the clubs around Greenwich village there in New York City, an encounter with a Columbia Records executive landed him his first recording contract in October 1961. His professional career was on the move. Later in 1963 Dylan was becoming more involved with the civil rights movement. He and his close friend Joan Baez performed at the March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King gave his well known “I Have a Dream” speech. However, as time went on, Dylan was growing tired of protest songs and wanted to move his career into a different direction. The album “Another Side of Bob Dylan” was released in 1964. This album was far more personal and less political than his previous releases.
“Bringing It All Back Home” was released in 1965; this album was an interesting mixture of acrostic and electric. In July of the same year Dylan was booed when he performed electric for the first time at the Newport Folk Festival. Over the next four decades, and despite the occasional displeasure from his fans and critics, Bob Dylan continues to redefine his music creating songs that will be enjoyed for years to come.
