When it comes to albums that represent folk music of the 1960s, none stands above this one.

Among its tracks, “Blowin’ in the Wind” resonated with countless people as an anthem of the civil rights movement of the time.

Bob Dylan’s poetic lyrics blend magnificently with a performance that is simple yet powerful.

Released in May 1963, this album is still highly regarded as a landmark that laid the foundation for folk rock.

It’s a must-listen not only for those interested in folk music, but also for anyone who wants to understand the history of rock.
