Bob Dylan Biography

Bob Dylan is an American poetic songwriter singer painter writer and Nobel prize laureate. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when his songs chronicled social unrest. Early songs such as Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin' became anthems for the Civil Rights Movement and anti-war movement. Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music revival his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone recorded in 1965 enlarged the range of popular music.
Dylan's lyrics incorporate a wide range of political social philosophical and literary influences. They defied existing pop music conventions and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture. Initially inspired by the performances of Little Richard and the songwriting of Woody Guthrie Robert Johnson and Hank Williams Dylan has amplified and personalized musical genres. His recording career spanning more than 50 years has explored the traditions in American song—from folk blues and country to gospel rock and roll and rockabilly to English Scottish and Irish folk music embracing even jazz and the Great American Songbook. Dylan performs with guitar keyboards and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been dubbed the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career but his songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.
