Bob Dylan (album)

This album is not only Bob Dylan’s first, but it’s as bluesy as they come, for a folk album that is. Just listen to Dylan sing, “So I can die easy, Jesus’ gonna make my dying bed,” in “My Time of Dying,” the power of his vocals will rip a tear out of even the driest eye. And his sad tribute to Woody Guthrie, that’s another that’ll bring tears to your eyes. Dylan was crooner back then and a darned good one.
