One of his greatest storytelling tracks I think from his early acoustic era is quite literal and absolutely heart-wrenching. It's so simple and so relentless and it just works so well. The Ballad of Hollis Brown. A fantastic song for lyrical delivery and a bit more abstract for sure but it really captured the feel of the times perfectly and it's an example of an early music video, and it almost reminds me of really early early rap, is, Subterranean Homesick Blues.
You really have to get familiar with Bob. His music spurred a new social and musical revolution. He also was the first Rap artist. And you can see the inner structure of his lyrics which was later used in Hip-Hop.
Bob Dylan wrote a great one called The Hurricane. True story that was eventually made into a movie with Denzel Washington playing the wrongfully convicted man accused of killing a white man. And he was an upcoming Boxer in the heavyweight division. Rueben The Hurricane Carter. Such a great job by Dylan on this one. You’ll love it. And be disgusted by the story as well.
Guilty as heII and convicted TWICE. HIS car. HIS shotgun in the trunk of HIS car. And the song is probably one of Dylan's worst. Every "fact" is wrong. His name "hurricane", not "the hurricane" and he was not a "heavyweight". You have your "facts" as right as Dylan. You spelt his name incorrectly, it's "rubin".

I love just about every Bob Dylan track I've ever heard, but this has always stood out as my absolute favorite
I first heard this song at a friend's apartment and I played it over and over again, placing the needle on the record- driving everyone crazy.
You like storytelling, for my money nothing beats Black Diamond Bay.
It’s got to b it’s alright ma next if you’re doing bob
Listen to " It's All Right Ma"....if you like mind blowing incredible poetic lyrics.

Very few songs, over generations can put a movie in your mind.
Listen to th WHOLE LP -- "Blood On the Tracks". The blood is on both his trail and the songs.
Great reaction..
Yessir..
Bob is the G.O.A.T..
not those sports guys..!!!
'Shakespeare with a guitar '..
keep digging..he has hundreds,no cap!!
Hurricane is my fav.!!
Listen to Serve somebody it’s a later work but fantastic song
John Lennon responded, "You've got to serve YOURSELF. -- doubtless a response to the religiosity.
Dirge, Hazel, I want you, If you see her say hello, Visions of Johanna, all must listens of Dylan's.
The 'Italian poet from the 13th century' is Dante Alighieri. Dylan is very well read.
It’s Bob’s original song.
It's definitely an original. Dylan wrote it.
