"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the poet laureate of rock 'n' roll. The man who "forced folk into bed with rock, disappeared into a haze of substance abuse, returned after finding Jesus before being written off in the 80's"

 

I went to the Bob Dylan concert other night which was the third time i have seen him play - it was also the best time.

While obvously appreciating the classics it is his latter albums (Modern Times and Love & Theft etc) that I really like and as a result I have developed a real taste for Dylan's style of 'rockabilly'

I will sometimes play songs of these albums as I am driving too or from a photography shoot and hence I guess it is safe to conclude I draw some inspiration for my photography from Dylan's music. Probably a favourite song is off Modern Times entitled 'Working Man Blues # 2 - a lovely tale of life and hope as only a true poet could write.

I love music photography and Dylan is one of those legends who I enjoy looking at photographs of throughout their careers - there is much that some of those photographs seem to tell.
