Bob Dylan is one of the world’s most popular and acclaimed
songwriters, musicians and performers, having sold more than 110
million albums and performed literally thousands of shows around the
world in a career spanning five decades.
His most recent studio album,
Modern Times – lauded by
critics around the world and selling more than 2.5 million copies to
date -- entered the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at #1, as well as
debuting within the Top Five in 21 other countries.
His previous studio albums,
Time Out Of Mind and “Love
& Theft” have been among his most commercially successful and
critically lauded, each having sold more than two million copies and
earning Grammy nominations for Album Of The Year (Time Out Of Mind
won that award in 1998).
The most recent volume in the acclaimed “Bootleg Series”,
Tell Tale Signs, was a top seller around the world, and made
numerous critics “Best Of” lists for 2008 – virtually unprecedented
for a collection of its type.
Bob Dylan was recently awarded a special Pulitzer Prize for “his
profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by
lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.”
Bob Dylan won an Academy Award for “Things Have Changed” in the
category “Best Song From A Motion Picture” in 2001 (he won a Golden
Globe that year, as well), and the song was featured in the Season 4
NCIS episode, “Sharif
Returns.”
