The album I chose to focus on was the second one in Bob Dylan’s career. “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan,” which was released in 1963, is considered to contain some of his best compositions and original work. It is considered folk music and uses the classic instruments such as the acoustic guitar and harmonics. The album was both a top seller in the United States and Great Britain, and has become apart of the Library of Congress’s collection of music. The songs portray the social unrest of the time, such as civil rights and the effects of the Cold War and became an obvious representation of how a generation was trying to bring on change within American culture.
