About this album

Duane Eddy Does Bob Dylan is a sharp, imaginative instrumental set that filters Bob Dylan’s songs through Eddy’s unmistakable twang. Issued in 1965, it finds the guitar icon applying his low-slung, reverb-heavy style to material already reshaping popular music, from folk standards to contemporary Dylan favourites such as “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “It Ain’t Me Babe”. Rather than mimic the originals, Eddy reworks them into sleek rock & roll instrumentals that underline both his melodic instinct and his place in the early-’60s crossover sound. The album captures a moment when instrumental rock could still meet the charts and the folk boom at once.
