Bob Dylan is the debut studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on March 19, 1962,[2] by Columbia Records. The album was produced by Columbia talent scout John H. Hammond, who had earlier signed Dylan to the label, a controversial decision at the time. The album primarily features folk standards but also includes two original compositions, "Talkin' New York" and "Song to Woody". The latter was an ode to Woody Guthrie, a significant influence in Dylan's early career.
The album received little attention at first, but began to sell as Dylan's career progressed. Three years after its release, it charted in the UK, reaching No. 13.
