Our Pick of the Year: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan established Dylan as a songwriter rather than mainly an interpreter of folk standards. Blowin' in the Wind, Masters of War and A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall connected personal performance with civil-rights and Cold War concerns. The album also helped make original songwriting central to the folk revival.
