Bob Dylan is undoubtedly the most important individual performer of the rock era, the incarnation of a counterculture and the songwriter of the century. The exceptional artist means "to pop music what Einstein means to physics", wrote the US news magazine Newsweek. Bob Dylan's outstanding importance was also reflected in the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he was the only musician to receive to date. The numerous Grammy awards, also for his life's work, document the great recognition of the brilliant singer-songwriter.

Bob Dylan reinvented himself again and again, changed, changed direction, disappeared, only to rise again like a meteor. Dylan did not allow himself to be taken in, he determined the tempo, rhythm and content. He defined the ideals, fears and moods of generations with his songs. The poetry of his lyrics and the lyricism of his songs lent him a literary quality, his keen powers of observation and his political understanding made him the natural mouthpiece of the youth, whose awakening he helped to initiate and accompany in the 1960s.

Dylan songs are not only classics, but also true-to-life poetry. Many of them have gone down in American literature: "The Times They are A-Changin' ", "Blowin' in the Wind", "Like a Rolling Stone", "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall", "Chimes of Freedom" - to name but a few. His albums reached a total circulation of more than 110 million.
