Bob Dylan : Bob Dylan
( By Request )
Bob Dylan
is the
debut
studio album
by American
singer-songwriter
Bob Dylan
released on
March 19, 1962
by Columbia Records.
Produced by Columbia's
legendary talent
scout
John H. Hammond,
who signed
Dylan to the label,
the album features
folk standards,
plus two
original compositions,
"Talkin' New York"
and
"Song to Woody".
By the time sessions
were held for
his debut album,
Dylan was absorbing
an enormous amount
of folk material
from sitting
and listening to
contemporaries
performing in
New York's clubs
and
coffeehouses.
Many of these
individuals were also
close friends
who performed
with Dylan,
often inviting him
to their apartments
where they would
introduce him to
more folk songs.
At the same time,
Dylan was borrowing
and listening to
a large number of
folk,
blues,
and
country records,
many of which
were hard
to find at the time.
Dylan claimed in
the documentary
No Direction Home
that he needed
to hear a
song only once
or
twice to learn it.
