Bob Dylan gets a record contract
Dylan moved to New York in 1961. His dream was to become a full-time musician. He played in many places and got good feedback. A producer from Colombia Records gave him a contract.
Dylan’s debut album was made in only three days, but the critics did not like it. The lyrics were serious, dark and sad. He was good on stage, but his record didn’t sell. But Dylan didn’t care. He was busy with new projects.
Did you know …?
Dylan lied about his childhood. When he came to New York, he told people that he had no parents and that he traveled with a circus.
