Bob Dylan Information
Official Site
Born in Duluth, Minnesota, Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman. As a child he wrote poems he also taught himself how to play musical instruments such as piano, guitar and harmonica. In his teens while
in high school he formed a couple of bands, Golden Chords and Elston Gunn and His Rock Boppers. He loved the early rock of Elvis Presley and Little Richard as well as the country and folk singers Hank Williams
and Woody Guthrie. While attending the University of Minnesota in 1959, he began performing folk songs at local coffeehouses and telling people he was going to take his act on the road across America. Around
this time he changed his name to Bob Dylan, because he felt it sounded cool.
Bob spent the summer of 1960 in Denver, where he met blues man Jesse Fuller, the inspiration behind the songwriter's signature harmonica rack and guitar. By the time he returned home that fall, he had grown
substantially as a performer and was determined to become a professional musician more than ever.
In January of 1961 he dropped out of school and headed for New York City to pursue his dream. He started to play in small clubs and coffeehouses in Greenwich Village, where he would soon made a name for
himself.
It was at one of his first shows at Gerde's Folk City in the Village, where a story that would appear in the NY Times was written about his performance. The review was read by Columbia A&R man John Hammond
who would soon sign him and produce Bob's debut album which was released in March of 1962. The self-titled album, a collection of folk and blues contained only two original songs. Bob was only 21 years old at
the time. A few albums later, Bob found himself playing concerts every night. But he was growing tired of his label, which had tagged him as a "protest singer and writer".
In 1965 Bob would come to have a big year. On top of everything else that would take place that year, his personal life would change too. He began a romantic relationship with fellow folk singer Joan Baez who
he played live with, earlier in the year. Bob wanted to get more into electric rock. Around mid 1965 he recorded yet another album, Highway 61 Revisited. It was his first full-fledged rock & roll album and
included the hit single "Like A Rolling Stone", which was six minutes long, a huge deal for this was the first single ever of such length to be put out by any artist. Around this time he also broke it off with
Joan and started dating a model named Sara Lowndes. They would marry by the end of the year. Also later that same year he would hire The Hawks as his touring band.
In 1966 he released the double album Blonde on Blonde, with songs like "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", "Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again" and "Just Like A Woman". The album sold over 10 million
copies. Bob was on cloud nine but would be brought back down to earth July 1966 when he was in a near-fatal motorcycle accident that broke his neck. He resumed to his home in Woodstock, NY to mend and spend
time with his now growing family. A few months later, the Hawks joined him at a rented home in Woodstock called 'the Big Pink'. They began recording songs with a country-flavor that were not meant to be heard
by the public. The tapes were bootlegged and would finally be released eight years later as The Basement Tapes.
Back on the scene Bob returned in December of 1967 with the country rock album John Wesley Harding, recorded in Nashville with a three-piece backing band, it would go to number 2 on the Billboard charts.
In 1970 the double LP Self Portrait was put out to hostile reviews. Rolling Stone magazine led the way in their review of the album. But just four months
later he released New Morning and the album was hailed as a comeback. For the next 18 years Bob continued to record and produce hit songs while consistently touring the world. Then in 1988, Bob embarked on
what became known as "The Never-Ending Tour" a constant stream of shows that ran on and off into the late 1990's. Also that same year Bob formed the group the Traveling Wilburys with former Beatle George
Harrison, former Electric Light Orchestra leader Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison. The group represented three generations of rock stars and put out two great albums, but they never toured together.
Bob put out five more albums in the 90's on his own. In December 1997, Bob was honored in the U.S. for artistic excellence with the Kennedy Center Honors. Early in 1998, Time Out of Mind received three
Grammy Awards and Album of the Year, Best Contemporary Folk Album and Best Male Rock Vocal. Finally in 2001, he won the Academy Award for Best Song, "Things Have Changed". Even more of an honor is the fact
that since 1963, numerous other performers have recorded many of his songs.
Bob kick-started Folk and Country Rock in the 1960's and has been performing ever since.
His music influenced a whole new generation of musicians, still touring and performing to sold-out crowds but records less often then he used to in the early days. Being compared to Bob Dylan would be a true
honor indeed. The man's pure poetic songwriting style, in a word is Brilliant.
