Biography

Duluth, Minnesota, United States (1959 – present)

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American musician, and artist whose position in popular culture is unique.

Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 and much of his best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a-Changin’”, became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His song “Like a Rolling Stone”, released in July of 1965, was named “The Greatest Song of All Time” by Rolling Stone magazine in 2004, placing #1 in a list of 500 titles. Dylan remains an influential and popular artist; his most recent album of new songs, 2009’s Together Through Life, reached #1 on the charts in the US, Britain, France and several other countries.

Bob Dylan’s strong influence over the past few years is becoming even more prominent amongst a growing group of younger emerging artists such as George Ellias, and Devendra Banhart.

Dylan’s early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture of the time. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, Dylan has shown steadfast devotion to traditions of American song, from and / to and , to Gaelic balladry, even , and .

    Though I might also add that perhaps the best thing about In the Summertime is how smoothly and subtly Bob interlinks the romantic and the spiritual. It's about love anyway, *that's* for sure.

    New Pony might also be considered romantic, by some ("she broke her leg and needed shooting, but I swear it hurt me more than it could have hurted her!")... or at least sexy, as shouts on its page attest.

    Or the immortal classic "Ugliest Girl in the World"

    If you like Bob's romantic songs, MuzykoLubna, as you certainly have much reason to, don't you dare miss Covenant Woman (on Saved) or In the Summertime (on Shot of Love)!

    I don't always listen to Nashville Skyline, but when I do, it kicks serious ass

    Решил послушать, и остался огорчен, может я чего-нибудь не понимаю, но как по мне, так однообразные козлиные блеяния под акустику и губную гармошку. На этом все. В текстах ничего уж такого эпичного не наблюдаю.

    True Confessions can boast In the Garden too, actually. The Heartbreakers give it a very cool late-night gambling den feel.

    Not taking to the True Confessions '86 tour much, except that I and I kicks serious ass. Finally a live Infidels song that matches, or possibly even surpasses, its studio take! I was disappointed by the famed Letterman set, and of course the 1984 tour had little to offer in any regard. Well, Jokerman '84 was quite good.

    My mental response to albums like Blood on the Tracks and Street-Legal depends entirely on the state I am in

    Blood on the Tracks is such a brilliant album. Especially if you're fucked up.
