Bob Dylan

"Song To Woody" is one of the first songs written and recorded by Bob Dylan, dedicated to one of his greatest inspirations, Woody Guthrie. Dylan first visited Guthrie in early 1961 at Greystone Hospital in New Jersey. The song is written in a similar style to that of Woody Guthrie and uses the melody from Guthrie's song "1913 Massacre". “Song To Woody” first appeared on Bob Dylan’s self-titled debut album released in 1962.
