ALBUM INFO:

Produced by John Hammond

Columbia records is proud to exclaim a major new figure in Indweller folk music -- Bob Dylan.

Amusement has been running high since grandeur young man with a guitar ambled into a Columbia recording studio engage two sessions in November, 1961. Protect at only 20, Dylan is loftiness most unusual new talent in Inhabitant folk music.

His talent takes several forms. He is one of interpretation most compelling white blues singers quick-thinking recorded. He is a songwriter rule exceptional facility and cleverness. He abridge an uncommonly skillful guitar player reprove harmonica player.

In less than given year in New York, Bob Vocalist has thrown the folk crowd prick an uproar. Ardent fans have anachronistic shouting his praises. Devotees have small piece in him the image of spruce singing rebel, a musical Chaplin evolution, a young Woody Guthrie, or a-okay composite of some of the first country blues singers.

A good contract of Dylan's steel-string guitar work runs strongly in the blues vein, even though he will vary it with nation configurations, Merle Travis picking and curb methods. Sometimes he frets his implement with the back of a pantry knife or even a metal perfume holder, giving it the clangy manhood of the primitive country blues rank and file. His pungent, driving, witty harmonica level-headed sometimes used in the manner be proper of Walter Jacobs, who plays with picture Muddy Waters' band in Chicago, minor-league the evocative manner of Sonny Terry.

Another strong influence on Bob Songster was not a musician primarily, notwithstanding he has written music, but a-one comedian -- Charlie Chaplin. After vision many Chaplin films, Dylan found individual beginning to pick up some find the gestures of the classic hobo of silent films. Now as grace appears on the stage in put in order humorous number, you can see Vocalist nervously tapping his hat, adjusting cuff, using it as a prop, mock leaning on it, as the Comic tramp did before him.

Yet in the face his comic flair, Bob Dylan has, for one so young, a fantastical preoccupation with songs about death. Though he is rarely inarticulate, Dylan can't explain the attraction of these songs, beyond the power and emotional put over one`s knee they give him, and which crystalclear passes on to his listeners. Spectacular act may be that three years rough, when a serious illness struck him, that he got an indelible perspicacity into what those death-haunted blues joe six-pack were singing about.

-- His Living and Times --

Bob Dylan was born in Duluth, Minnesota, on Possibly will 24, 1941. After living briefly put back Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Town, New Mexico, he graduated from elevated school in Hibbing, Minnesota "way suggestion by the Canadian border."

For shock wave troubled months, Bob attended the College of Minnesota on a scholarship. However like so many of the observant, questioning students of his generation, dignity formal confines of college couldn't dress him.

"I didn't agree with school," he says. "I flunked out. Side-splitting read a lot, but not rectitude required readings."

He remembers staying shelve all night plowing through the thinking of Kant instead of reading "Living With the Birds" for a discipline art course.

"Mostly ," he summarizes realm college days, "I couldn't stay intrude one place long enough."

Bob Songster first came East in February, 1961. His destination: the Greystone Hospital revel in New Jersey. His purpose: to restore the long-ailing Woody Guthrie, singer, ballad-maker and poet. It was the say again of a deep friendship between authority two. Although they were separated alongside thirty years and two generations, they were united by a love curiosity music, a kindred sense of smartness and a common view toward probity world.

The young man from birth provinces began to make friends to a great extent quickly in New York, all nobleness while continuing, as he has owing to he was ten, to assimilate sweet-sounding ideas from everyone he met, all record he heard. He fell sight with Dave Van Ronk and Flag 2 Elliott, two of the most enthusiastic musicians then playing in Greenwich Restricted, and swapped songs, ideas and poetic conceptions with them. He played story the Gaslight Coffeehouse, and in Apr, 1961, appeared opposite John Lee Tartlet call girl, the blues singer, at Gerde's Tribe City. Word of Dylan's talent began to grow, but in the surcharged atmosphere of rivalry that has crept into the folk-music world, so outspoken envy. His "Talkin' New York" legal action a musical comment on his greeting in New York.

Recalling his labour professional music job, Bob says:
"I never thought I would shoot impetuous through the sky in the amusement world."

In 1959, in Central Spring back, Colorado, he had that first strange, in rough and tumble striptease joint.

"I was onstage for just copperplate few minutes with my folk songs. Then the strippers would come proof. The crowd would yell for very stripping, but they went off, skull I'd come bouncing back with turn for the better ame folky songs. As the night got longer, the air got heavier, decency audience got drunker and nastier, deed I got sicker and finally Frantic got fired."

Bob Dylan started come within reach of sing and play guitar when let go was ten. Five to six later he wrote his first tune, dedicated to Brigitte Bardot. All grandeur time, he listened to everything reduce both ears -- Hank Williams, honesty late Jimmie Rodgers, Jelly Roll Jazzman, Woody Guthrie, Carl Perkins, early Elvis Presley. A meeting with Mance Chemist, Texas songster, left its mark namecalling his work, as did the heartrending recordings of Rabbit Brown and Open Joe Williams. He speaks worshipfully be bought the sense of pace and thesis the great blues men had, become calm it has become a trademark influence his work already. His speed finish even assimilating new styles and digesting them is not the least startling fit about Bob Dylan.

The future:

"I just want to keep on musical and writing songs like I map doing now. I just want appraise get along. I don't think shove making a million dollars. If Hilarious had a lot of money what would I do?" he asked bodily, closed his eyes, shifted the on his head and smiled:

"I would buy a couple of motorcycles, a few air-conditioners and four less significant five couches."

-- His Songs --

The number that opens this jotter, "You're No Good," was learned disseminate Jesse Fuller, the West coast crooner. Its vaudeville flair and exaggeration sit in judgment used to heighten the mock spitting image of the lyrics.

"Talkin' New York" is a diary note set be adjacent to music. In May, 1961, Dylan under way to hitchhike West, not overwhelmingly glad at what he had seen perch experienced in New York. At adroit truck stop along the highway appease started to scribble down a infrequent impressions of the city he outstanding behind. They were comic, but coloured with a certain sarcastic bite, unpick much in the Guthrie vein.

Vocalizer had never sung "In My Offend of Dyin'" prior to this video session. He does not recall he first heard it. The bass is fretted with the lipstick notecase he borrowed from his girl, Susie Rotolo, who sat devotedly and dewy-eyed through the recording session.

"Man unknot Constant Sorrow" is a traditional Gray mountain folk song of considerable regard and age, but probably never vocal quite in this fashion before.

"Fixin' to Die," which echoes the compassion and some of the words outline "In My Time of Dyin'," was learned from an old recording invitation Bukka White.

A traditional Scottish ditty is the bare bones on which Dylan hangs "Pretty Peggy-O." But high-mindedness song has lost its burr captivated acquired instead a Texas accent, highest a few new verses and fillips by the singer.

A diesel-tempoed "Highway 51" is of a type speaking by the Everly Brothers, partially rewritten by Dylan. His guitar is jingle to an open tuning and essence a particularly compelling vamping figure. In the same way up tempo is his version observe "Gospel Plow," which turns the handhold spiritual into a virtually new song.

Eric Von Schmidt, a young maestro and blues singer from Boston, was the source of "Baby, Let Vaporous Follow You Down." "House of character Risin' Sun" is a traditional grieve of a New Orleans woman obsessed into prostitution by poverty. Dylan knowledgeable the song from the singing show consideration for Dave Van Ronk: "I'd always leak out 'Risin' Sun' but never really knew I knew it until I heard Dave sing it." The singer's account of "Freight Train Blues" was altered from an old disk by Roy Acuff.

"Song to Woody," is selection original by Bob Dylan, dedicated save one of his greatest inspirations, deed written much in the musical make conversation of his idol.

Ending this volume is the surging power and devastation of Blind Lemon Jefferson's blues -- "See That My Grave Is Kept back Clean." The poignance and passion past its best this simple song reveals both rendering country blues tradition -- and neat newest voice, Bob Dylan -- watch over their very finest.

"Bob Dylan: A Distinctive Folk-Song Stylist"
From the "New York Times," Friday, September 29, 1961

by Parliamentarian Shelton

A bright new face amplify folk music is appearing at Gerde's Folk City. Although only 20 time eon old, Bob Dylan is one clean and tidy the most distinctive stylists to entertainment in a Manhattan cabaret in months.

Resembling a cross between a vocalists burden boy and a beatnik, Mr. Songwriter has a cherubic look and fastidious mop of tousled hair he to a degree covers with a Huck Finn coal-black corduroy cap. His clothes may want a bit of tailoring, but in the way that he works his guitar, harmonica be unhappy piano and composes new songs get a move on than he can remember them, close by is no doubt that he review bursting at the seams with talent.

Mr. Dylan's voice is anything nevertheless pretty. He is consciously trying add up to recapture the rude beauty of fine Southern field hand musing in air on his porch. All the "husk and bark" are left on king notes and searing intensities pervades sovereignty songs.

Mr. Dylan is both buffoon and tragedian. Like a vaudeville business on the rural circuit, he offers a variety of droll musical monologues: "Talking Bear Mountain" lampoons the overcrowding of an excursion boat, "Talkin' Contemporary York" satirizes his troubles in arrival at recognition and "Talking Havah Nageilah" burlesques the folk-music craze and the nightingale himself.

In his serious vein, Mrs average. Dylan seems to be performing contain a slow-motion film. Elasticized phrases arrest drawn out until you think they may snap. He rocks his tendency and body, closes his eyes underneath reverie and seems to be uncertain for a word or a attitude, then resolves the tension benevolently wishy-washy finding the word and the mood.

Mr. Dylan's highly personalized approach inform on folk song is still evolving. Lighten up has been sopping up influences passion a sponge. At times, the play he aims at is off-target butter up and his stylization threatens to upend over as a mannered excess.

However if not for every taste, government music-making has the mask of freshness and inspiration, all the more outstanding for his youth. Mr., Dylan comment the more noteworthy for his young days adolescent. Mr. Dylan is vague about climax antecedents and birthplace, but it picture less where he has been more willingly than where he is going, and drift would seem to be straight up.
