Oh I see, in his own way a lot like French bard Serge Gainsbourg. Both Jewish boys.
highway 61 may have been the zenith of his songwriting, but blonde on blonde has always been my bitch--for my money it's his best-sounding, best sung and most organic. it's nice to be discussing him in the context of an honor as opposed to an RIP.
Inna,
I see same way Leonard Cohen (also Jewish fella) who often is called by many Canadian Bob Dylan. To me Leonard Cohen is sort-of better 'version' of Bob Dylan.
Serge Gainsbourg is actually more new-wave artist than bard or songwriter.
There is something in Dylan that resonates with so many people around the world. What could it be ? He is a terrible singer, his lyrics is so-so, his guitar playing skills are rudimentary, his melodies can be nice but nothing special. Hell, I too find something in there, don't know what.
Congrats! Bob.

throughout his legendary career, so many phases, there is something to be learned from any singer/songwriter.

Happy Listening!
