I cannot forget Bob Dylan's famous quote: "I consider myself a poet first and a musician second.
I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.
" True enough, almost all Bob Dylan albums were a reflection of a great poet, as he was one of the first rock artists to infuse social and political commentary into his songs.
Most of his music was associated with the anti-war and civil rights movements in the 1960s.
Most Bob Dylan albums include songs that were heavily laden with influence from his exposure to blues, folk and country music.
I have been an ardent Dylan follower for over 30 years since I was introduced to his songs by my music teacher back in grade school.
I was instantly hooked to his songs, and found myself spending my evenings listening to his recordings; enraptured by his original, strange and compelling music.
If you are a big Dylan fan like me, then you probably are a big fan of these albums, which give a glimpse of his greatness: 1.
The Basement Tapes - This is considered as one of Dylan's most influential recordings, and was one of rock and roll's imaginative albums.
This album tells a tale, as it all began with Dylan's motorcycle accident back in 1996.
Following the incident, he and his band, the Hawkes, began working in a homemade studio in a house basement which they fondly call the "Big Pink.
" The album was released by Columbia almost 10 years after the songs were laid down.
2.
Time Out of Mind - Dylan's 41st album saw him teaming up with multi-instrumentalist and producer Daniel Lanois.
The release of this album market a significant moment in his career as this is where he finally discovered a common ground between the folk vibe and blues-rock that he pioneered.
3.
Bringing it All Back Home - one of the Bob Dylan Albums that is notable for its 2 sides - acoustic and electric.
This album further separated him from his peers in the folk music community, and gave birth to the folk-rock movement.
If you are a Bob Dylan aficionado, then you know too well that there will never be another artist like him - just like there will never be another J.
D.
Salinger or Woody Allen.
In fact, the release of a new Dylan album is an event unto itself.
Yes, we are in the midst of greatness.
