^ Yes, I agree. Futhermore, back in the sixties too many folkies were going in this direction, with technically pleasant voices:-



To me Dylan's was the anguished voice of the individual, cutting through a lot of sugared-up junk. I was eleven years old when I first heard this song coming out of a neighbour's radio set; so startling that I still remember the moment:-



Dylan actually has an under-ratedly good voice imo, though I don't like the poor guy's croaking in recent years.
