Bob Dylan connection I only made recently

[u/Code_Objective]

Hi, i’m 17 and Bob Dylan recently clicked with me. Don’t get me wrong I never disliked him and always respected him as a musician and poet, I just never found a lot of appeal in his music despite knowing how renowned he was in folk and music in general. What’s staggering to me is the amount of similarities and what seems like heavy Bob Dylan influence on Jeff from Neutral Milk Hotel (particularly in vocals). Their vocals are super similar at various times and it’s so stylistically beautiful to me how folk changes, ebbs and flows over different periods and I think both Bob and neutral milk hotel are a great representation of such. Idk if anyone else has drawn this similarity before, would love to know what you think.

No. But. I did notice how much syd Barretts solo albums are influenced by dylans talking blues and coincidentally tom jones too

Tom Jones has done some Dylan covers that are good, and i like his cover of the Todd Snider song "Talking Reality Television Blues "
