A truly original artist, Bob Dylan has influenced generations of musicians, but this set takes a look back at the artists that inspired the man himself. This special collector’s edition presents the roots of Dylan, showing his personal journey through blues, rock & roll, country and folk music while documenting some of the main influences studied and absorbed by the revolutionary singer-songwriter; from Woody Guthrie, Josh White and Big Bill Broonzy to Jerry Butler & The Impressions, from Billy Lee Riley, Buddy Holly and Hank Williams to Larry Williams and The Clancy Brothers, among many others.

All of these musical pioneers and influences are gathered here. So listen to these quintessential original recordings and enjoy a collection of songs that continue to reverberate in the work of present day artists, especially Dylan himself.
