Not purty enuff fer ye?
Dylan’s art is far more than a conventually pretty voice. He is the greatest song writer in American history and a great performer of his music as well. His songs tell stories and he is a great story teller in the tradition of Leadbelly, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Jimmy Reed, Lighting Hopkins and Big Bill Broonzy.
I never used to like his voice but the more gnarly it became, it seems like the stories got better..........He is great. Another true story writer I like is Leonard Cohen.......
I put him behind George Gershwin, Hank Williams and Stephen Foster.
