《鲍勃·迪伦诗歌集Ⅱ:地下乡愁蓝调,1964-1965》收录了鲍勃·迪伦早期创作的三张经典专辑。发行于1964年的专辑《时代正在改变》The Times They Are A-Changin',由迪伦包揽词曲创作的专辑,成为当时最有力的时代之声。专辑与同名歌曲《时代正在改变》皆为经典之作,其反映出20世纪60年代美国社会、政治急剧动荡的特征,亦是一代人的变革宣言。1964年,迪伦又发行了另一张专辑《鲍勃迪伦的另一面》(Another Side of Bob Dylan),以最私密的自我剖白,成就了一张去政治化的另类经典之作。这张专辑风格多变,减少了反抗性和批判性,转而更多地描画感情世界。正如迪伦自己所言,“我再也不想为别人写歌了,我只想表达自己内心的东西。”歌词以诗意和包容让我们告别了昔日的愤怒青年,得见成熟的诗人迪伦。1965年发行的专辑《全数带回家》(Bringing It All Back Home)则是鲍勃·迪伦的首张摇滚专辑,音乐生涯的转型力作。迪伦创作了许多个人化的诗意歌词,运用了大量兰波式的隐喻和通感,使得整张专辑具有极强的超现实主义风格。他将诗化歌词与节奏蓝调进行了巧妙的融合,创造了崭新的民谣摇滚。
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman) is an American singer-songwriter, author, musician, poet, and, of late, disc jockey who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan's most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. A number of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His most recent studio album, Modern Times, released on August 29, 2006, entered the U.S. album charts at #1, making him, at age sixty five, the oldest living person to top those charts.
Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature (2016).
