Bob Dylan is a living legend. When he burst onto the folk music scene in the early 1960s with instant classics like "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Mr. Tambourine Man," he quickly rose to the top of the folk pantheon. He is the premier lyricist of our time, with a body of work spanning sixty years and millions of records sold. When Dylan 'went electric' in 1965 and released the world-beating "Like A Rolling Stone," he gave rock music a brain. Dylan continued to evolve through the following decades, from country-rock like "Lay Lady Lay" to the complex introspection of "Tangled Up In Blue." In the last three decades Dylan has toured almost every year and continues to be a vital performer and songwriter at 82.Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The Bob Dylan Story is a lecture-concert celebrating Bob Dylan's life and music, featuring Mike on guitar and vocals and Jill Daley on piano and violin with Greg Wyard on bass and backing vocals.You'll learn about Dylan's life story, from his Minnesota upbringing to his early years in Greenwich Village.
