Bob Dylan (album)

Bob Dylan is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was on March 19, 1962 by Columbia Records released.

The music was recorded in two or three sessions in November 1961 in a studio on Seventh Avenue in Manhattan. John H. Hammond provided the musical production. He helped Dylan in the fall of 1961 to a record deal with Columbia Records.

The album was generally well received by critics, but sales were disappointing. In the first week, about fifty thousand copies sold. The American public was more used to folk singers polished votes, while Dylan a rough voice had. Following flopping his album Dylan was Columbia Records' Hammond's folly ": called (Dutch fool Hammond). A month after the release of Bob Dylan, he began recording his next album, titled The Freewheelin 'Bob Dylan.
