Bob Dylan's first album "Bob Dylan" was released on March 19, 1962

Bob Dylan has arguably been the most influential and important solo music artist of the last 50 years. It was 45 years ago today that he got his start with his very first album being released. His first album was self titled and features mostly folk standards but it also includes 2 original songs. One of the covers was "House Of The Risin' Sun" which would later be a hit for The Animals.

Here's Dylan in 1963 playing an original composition from his next album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The song is the classic "Blowin' In The Wind."
