Zimmerman
1941- . US singer and songwriter, whose work
in the 1960s, with its emphasis on socially
conscious lyrics, first in the folk music
tradition and, beginning in 1965, in an
individualistic rock style, had great
influence on the development of Western
popular music. Dylan's early songs, on his
albums Freewheelin' 1963 and The Times They
Are A-Changin' 1964, were associated with the
US civil-rights movement and antiwar protest.
When he first used an electric rock band he
was criticized by purists, but his electric
albums, Highway 61 Revisited 1965 and Blonde
on Blonde 1966, are often cited as his best
work. His meaningful (but increasingly
obscure) lyrics provided catchphrases for a
generation and influenced innumerable
songwriters.
