Fifty-three years ago Bob Dylan’s debut album, Bob Dylan, was released.

Pretty much no one noticed. It didn’t sell.

It would take Peter, Paul and Mary’s cover of “Blowin’ In The Wind” for the world to really take notice.

But Bob Dylan, which contains only one original song, “Song To Woody,” is a great album.

Dylan’s voice is brilliantly unique, and his interpretations of the 12 covers are wonderful.

You can pretty much give the album a listen below if you want. Most of the versions are the studio recordings from that first album. A few aren’t.

I’ve also included three outtakes.

Enjoy.
