Dylan’s debut album

19th March 1962, Bob Dylan’s debut album Bob Dylan was released in the Untied States. Initially poor sales led the record to be known around Columbia Records as ‘Hammond's Folly’ (John Hammond was producer of Dylan’s early recordings and the man responsible for signing Dylan). The album was praised by the New York City weekly newspaper Village Voice as an ‘explosive country blues debut’, but featured only two Dylan original compositions, Talkin' New York and Song To Woody, the rest being old folk standards.

That album has, hands down, THE best versions of "The House Of The Rising Sun" and "In My Time Of Dying". The latter makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I hear it. And to think it's credited to "Page/Plant" on "Physical Graffiti". Ha! I love Zeppelin, but come ON!!!
