About Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan, legally Robert Dylan and born Robert Allen Zimmerman, is an American singer-songwriter. He was born on 24 May 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota. He moved to New York City in 1961 to pursue a music career.

His 1962 debut album, Bob Dylan, was followed by his breakthrough album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, in 1963. His songs Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin' became anthems for the civil rights and antiwar movements. He caused controversy by using electric instruments on Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde. He later gained acclaim for Blood on the Tracks and Time Out of Mind, the latter earning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. He has toured continually since the late 1980s on what is known as the Never Ending Tour.
