``Bob Dylan came out of the tradition of the twenties and thirties blues and country singers […] No one, certainly no nice, middle-class, Jewish, ex-college student from Hibbing, Minnesota, every carried it off so convincingly. When Dylan sang the old blues song “Highway 51” on his first album in 1962, he made it real. The way Bob Dylan sang on his early records, he could have been born in Virginia in the seventeen hundreds, turned up for the Gold Rush in California in 1849, headed up to Alaska in the 1890s, made it down to Mexico in 1910—the road was the story, it told the story, the story told you.''
