Rolling Stone published an article today that takes a look back at Bob Dylan's self-titled first album and asserts that the record sowed the seeds of Dylan's entire music career. Dylan moved to New York City in 1961 with his heart set on becoming a folk singer like his hero, Woody Guthrie. Dylan put out his first album in 1962 and he was still playing with his style and sound, but the talent was remarkable. He wasn't quite the songsmith he would later become but managed to get a couple of his own tunes on the album like "Song To Woody", and "Talkin, New York". By the time the album was released Dylan was writing songs full time and when asked about his debut, Dylan said, ""That's not me, there was only a couple of my stories on it." Dylan eventually did get to put himself out there in the iconic discography that was to follow his first.
