Summary

Bob Dylan’s impact on popular music has been incalculable. Having transformed staid folk music into a vehicle for coruscating social commentary, he then swept away the romantic platitudes of rock ‘n’ roll with his searing intellect.

From the zeitgeist-encapsulating protest of ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ to the streetwise venom of ‘Like a Rolling Stone’, and from the stunning mid-sixties trilogy of albums - Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde
