Bob Dylan was issued in March 1962 to poor sales, and its star was dubbed “Hammond’s Folly” around the Columbia Records offices. Although sometimes thought of as merely a warm-up for the great things to come, Bob Dylan already showed that the young singer paid little mind to the folk orthodoxies of his moment, mixing Anglo-American folk material such as “Man of Constant Sorrow” and “Pretty Peggy-O” with blues-based material like Blind Lemon Jefferson’s “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” and Bukka White’s “Fixin’ To Die.” The album contained only two original songs, a talking blues about his arrival in New York City, and the fine “Song To Woody,” an homage to balladeer Woody Guthrie, Dylan’s idol at the time he arrived in New York City. ![]() In November 1961 Dylan entered the studio alone with his guitar (and harmonica) and recorded an album full of the kinds of traditional songs he had been busy absorbing in Minneapolis and Greenwich Village.
