He released The Times They Are a-Changin’ and Another Side of Bob Dylan in 1964.

In 1965 and 1966, Dylan recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the 1960s – Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dylan explored country music in John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline and New Morning.

In 1975, he released Blood on the Tracks. In the late 1970s, he became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock sound in the early 1980s.

His album Time Out of Mind, released in 1997, marked the beginning of a renaissance for his career.
