Blowin' In The Wind Bob Dylan

Half a century later, Bob Dylan still performs Blowin' In The Wind!

'Blowin’ In The Wind' is a song from the 1963 album 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'.

This wasn't Bob Dylan's first album, and he still mainly played covers at this point but 'Blowin' In The Wind' was his, and everybody around him covered it. Peter Paul & Mary actually charted way before Dylan did with his own version.

'Blowin' In The Wind' is often used as an example of "the protest song", posing philosophical questions about peace, war and freedom. 1960s American teens couldn't get enough of this and Dylan became an icon.

The follow up to this now legendary album has been many and Bob Dylan is approaching half a century as an active recording artist.

For many he still remains the one man band that sang 'Blowin' In The Wind', 'The Times They Are A Changing' and 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right'. For some he is the 70s vibe with 'One More Cup Of Coffee' and 'Tangled Up In Blue'.

One thing is certain, Bob Dylan shall keep blowin' in the wind for as long as he is still around.

In 1999, 'Blowin' In The Wind' was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame.
In 2004 it was listed as #14 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
