Bob Dylan’s American Journey
Currently exhibiting at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a salute to folk artist Boy Dylan. Bob Dylan’s American Journey: 1956-1966 salutes a musician who brought a form of poetry to popular music and helped define musicians as artists.
Dylan’s lyrics and songs unearth and revitalize the American folk and blues tradition, serving as a key link in the chain that extends from Southern work songs, blues and Anglo American ballads to the many contemporary singer-songwriters for whom Dylan is a main influence. But Dylan’s story is not simply that of a musical evolution. As a public figure and artistic innovator, he has taken and chronicled a journey emblematic of modern America’s own development.
The exhibit runs through September 7, 2006. Plan a trip to Cleveland and journey to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Go here for museum hours and basic information.
