Bob Dylan, Hi there, I am a big fan of Bob Dylan (hence me following your amazing blog) and I’m looking to get into the type of music that inspired Dylan in his early, folky phase, but I don’t know where to start. I was hoping you would be able to help me? Thanks and I love your blog :)

Hello :)

The Anthology of American Folk Music, edited by Harry Smith, would be perfect for you. I didn’t discover it until a while after I was familiar with many of the artists included within the anthology, but I wish I had found it before. It would make an excellent starting point, so look it up.

Take care,
Jess
