That's a really interesting observation. I had realized his singing voice was completely different from his actual voice, but never thought about what effect it had on his songs. In my opinion, I feel that Dylan really immerses himself into his songs and the story he is trying to tell. Therefore, the characters he is portraying can only be brought out though his words, music and voice. I think Dylan executes all three of these aspects in his songs really well. One cannot help notice these changes in his voice in his different songs, and it is to distinctly to enrich his story and the emotions that are in them. The "Southern Blues" type voice that Alex talked about I find mostly to be present in his active protest songs on Civil Rights, like Oxford Town, which is unlike his voice in Mr. Tambourine Man, It's All Over Now Baby Blue and Subterranean Homesick Blues.
