A double-album recorded in Nashville that Dylan described as having that "thin, wild mercury sound." 3. Reclusion and Roots (1967–1973)
After a period of writer's block, Dylan entered a "twilight" era characterized by a gravelly voice and a deep obsession with the Great American Songbook and pre-war blues.
In arguably the most famous pivot in music history, Dylan "went electric."
His self-titled debut (1962) was mostly covers, but The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963) changed everything. With songs like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," Dylan became the voice of a generation.
Dylan’s conversion to Christianity led to a trilogy of spiritual albums: Slow Train Coming , Saved , and Shot of Love . While controversial at the time, they are now praised for their musicianship. The rest of the 80s was a hit-or-miss decade, though Oh Mercy (1989) proved he still had the magic. 6. The Late-Career Renaissance (1997–2012)
The Times They Are a-Changin' (1964) solidified his status as a political poet before he began to tire of the "protest singer" label. 2. The Electric Revolution (1965–1966)
