Welcome to the subreddit of the poet laureate of rock 'n' roll. The voice of the promise of the '60s counter-culture. The guy who forced folk into bed with rock. Who donned make-up in the '70s and disappeared into a haze of substance abuse. Who emerged to find Jesus. Who was written off as a has-been by the end of the '80s and who suddenly shifted gears, releasing some of the strongest music of his career beginning in the late '90s. Ladies and gentlemen — Columbia recording artist Bob Dylan!

Q&A
On that first album he sings the ‘hillbilly’ songs with a hillbilly voice and the ‘blues’ songs with a blues voice. By Freewheelin’ he had already merged the two styles into his “Bob Dylan” voice which he kept up all the way through the mythical motorcycle crash of 1967.
Agree with this response. I think many of his early songs are sung with a distinctive sound and voice.
Sound like what?
he was keeping his hand on that plow
.....Hold on.
