Bob Dylan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | His enduring contributions to American song are often compared, in fame and influence, to those of Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams, and his place in American and European culture in the 1960s through to the present is unique. |
| | His most famous songs of the time are typified by "Blowin' in the Wind", its melody partially derived from the traditional slave song "No More Auction Block", coupled with Dylan's original lyrics challenging the social and political status quo. |
| | The songs were in the same vein as the hit single, surreal litanies of the grotesque flavored by Mike Bloomfield's blues guitar, a tight rhythm section and Dylan's obvious enjoyment of the sessions. |
