Free Bob Dylan CD Downloads

My all time favorite musicians are singer songwriters, especially those musical artists who write brilliant lyrics. More often than not you can find a Bob Dylan CD on my player, both old and and releases. Some of Dylan's albums stand out over others, but I can listen to that gravelly voice and his powerful words full of metaphor all day long. If you were to take his music away, all of the songs would stand up as poems, holding their own with the poet greats.

Back in the turbulent 1960s, Bob Dylan was venerated as a protest singer, surprisingly, it was a label he didn't really care for. He refused to be to be hijacked as a spokesperson for any of the 60's movements and he didn't want to be boxed in for just any political cause. He identified more with wandering musicians such as Woody Guthrie and the hobos than with any political doctrine. Don't get me wrong, Dylan wrote some great political songs of course, songs like With God On My Side and Masters of War. Conversely, he is just as capable of writing and singing a tender love song like his hit songs, Lay Lady Lay and Just Like A Woman. Click here for unlimited free Bob Dylan music downloads!
