Abstract: Bob Dylan grew up in Hibbing, Minnesota, during the 1950s, where the opportunity to hear folk music was something of a rarity. Indeed, the young Robert Zimmerman was hooked on R&B (black) and rock ’n’ roll (white). This was the soundtrack for teens at that time, and he even played the piano, as well as the acoustic and electric guitar, in local bands. It was not until Dylan moved to Minneapolis in 1959, he long contended, that he discovered folk music, particularly its early roots in recorded blues and country music, and especially Woody Guthrie, who would become his role model.
