In 1965, Dylan made an unexpected step from folk to rock and gave a performance in Newport to accompaniment of the blues band The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Having signed a contract with Columbia, he produced his first albums Bob Dylan (1962), The Freewheelin` Bob Dylan (1963) and the most popular The Times They Are A-Changin (1964), and became one of the leading figures in the civil right movement. In the sixties, Dylan recorded his most celebrated works with a strong civil right message. In 1959, he gave up the university studies, took up the pseudonym Bob Dylan (after his favorite poet Dylan Thomas) and moved to New York. In a short while, he began his own musical career performing his own repertoire to the acoustic guitar and harmonica. Just like most of his peers at that time, Bob was into rock and roll, but after entering the Minneapolis University he shifted his focus to folk music. Soon after his birth, his family moved to Hibbing, where he went to school. Bob Dylan (Robert Allen Zimmerman) is an American song-writer, author, poet and painter.
