It is now 50 years since Bob Dylan wrote the song that made him famous, Blowin' in the Wind. Here is an introduction to Dylan the songwriter, along with a tape from April 16, 1962 at Gerde's Folk City in NYC, the earliest recording of Bob singing the song, along with four other songs. We also listen to the songs Let Me Die in My Footsteps (his first great song) and Corrina Corrina from the recording sessions for his second album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.
