Over the course of 18 months, he released Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde, a trio of records that broadened the vocabulary of rock & roll, placing Dylan at the cutting edge of popular culture.

One of the greatest figures of the twentieth century, Bob Dylan helped shape the sound and form of popular music in the rock & roll era.
