Product information:When a new and original artist appears on the scene to provide inspiration to all around him, there is often a desperate need to identify the source of such genius. In the case of Bob Dylan, when a young man in a baseball cap sang his own songs in a folk style, the world was captivated. In the early 1960s, Dylan made a huge impression with albums like "Bob Dylan," "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'." Dylan influenced everyone from the Beatles to Jimi Hendrix. But even as he changed times, musicologists have struggled to discover Dylan's roots. This compilation aims to celebrate the many other great artists who - you could say - laid the foundation for his work. The richly represented performers on this 2CD certainly represent the best of American music. There are ballad singers, bluesmen, R&B, folk and country artists, jazzmen and women. Among the 45 diverse tracks, we find artists from Muddy Waters to Hank Williams and from Leadbelly to Chuck Berry and Louis Armstrong. Billie Holiday singing "Strange Fruit" could only have helped the young Dylan understand the passion a powerful song with a message could unleash. There are no songs by Bob Dylan himself on this compilation, but there are some of the most inspiring performances of the 20th century. These are songs that influenced the man himself. This double CD is a must-have for all Dylan collectors.
