I just listened to a Bob Dylan interview from 1965 on YouTube and he said his music wasn't folk rock. He said it was "vision music, it's mathematical." This bothers me because if Dylan doesn't play folk rock then I don't know who does. Also, i watched another Dylan interview and the interviewer asked him if he felt he was "betraying his generation by leaving folk." Dylan, though obviously on drugs responded very defensively; it wasn't really what he said but more how he said it. In addition to this observation, I originally wanted to find a Dylan interview so i could listen to how he spoke vs. sang. His dialect when singing is very "southern blues", but his speaking voice is very regular (in this interview almost timid.) This only leaves me to wonder why he would sing in that accent. What did that dialectical sound give to his music that his natural voice did not?
