He also recorded a series of three albums in the 2010s comprising versions of traditional American standards, especially songs recorded by Frank Sinatra. He has released five critically acclaimed albums of original material since then, the most recent being Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020). Dylan's 1997 album Time Out of Mind marked the beginning of a renaissance for his career. In the late 1970s, he became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock-based idiom in the early 1980s. In 1975, he released Blood on the Tracks, which many saw as a return to form. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dylan explored country music and rural themes in John Wesley Harding (1967), Nashville Skyline (1969), and New Morning (1970). These recordings were released as the collaborative album The Basement Tapes in 1975. During this period, he recorded a large body of songs with members of the Band, who had previously backed him on tour. In July 1966, a motorcycle accident led to Dylan's withdrawal from touring. His six-minute single " Like a Rolling Stone" (1965) expanded commercial and creative boundaries in popular music. In 19, Dylan drew controversy among folk purists when he adopted electrically amplified rock instrumentation, and in the space of 15 months recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the 1960s: Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited (both 1965) and Blonde on Blonde (1966). He went on to release the politically charged The Times They Are a-Changin' and the more lyrically abstract and introspective Another Side of Bob Dylan in 1964. Many of his songs adapted the tunes and phraseology of older folk songs. The album features "Blowin' in the Wind" and the thematically complex " A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall". įollowing his self-titled debut album in 1962, which comprised mainly traditional folk songs, Dylan made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan the following year. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture.
Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as " Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and " The Times They Are a-Changin' " (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and antiwar movements. Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture during a career spanning more than 60 years. Bob Dylan (legally Robert Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter.
