About Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, author, and poet. His enduring contributions to American song are often compared, in fame and influence, to those of Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams, and his place in American and European culture in the 1960s through to the present is unique.
Much of Dylan's best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'"[1], became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. He remains an influential and popular artist; his most recent album of new songs, 2001's "Love and Theft", reached the top five on the charts in the U.S. and UK. His upcoming studio album, Modern Times, is due for release in August.
