1961
Bob Dylan Album

Hibbing's Bob Dylan, once a play-for-free minstrel at bars around the University of Minnesota, releases his first album. He takes folk into rock and rock into politics, and becomes a legend of American music.

Born Robert Zimmerman, he assumes a new name that pays homage to Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.
