Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter whose music often features a distinctive, gravelly voice and a revolving cast of backing musicians. He emerged as a prominent figure in folk music in the early 1960s before controversially adopting electric instrumentation and exploring rock, blues, and country. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation. In 2015, Dylan released "Shadows in the Night," an album of covers, notable for its quiet, late-night feel and its thematic focus on classic American popular songs. This was a surprise release, appearing with little advance notice.
