BOB DYLAN: American folk (1962) and progressive rock (1965)
..
Bob Dylan’s six LPs from 1963 to 1966 – three accoustic, three rock – are major artworks from the 1960s. The singer records more than 500 own-songs and 100 covers between 1962 and 2020. He is also the winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature, the first musician to receive such distinction. His idea of using ‘cue-cards‘ in his 1965 ‘Subterranean homesick blues’ video-clip was later taken up by many artists. Bob Dylan released his 39th studio album on June 19, 2020.
