I think what Dylan did was be his own man (while borrowing as needed) and with support from Columbia records, his manager, and others, found his way to greatness. A lot of listeners never liked Dylan's voice, I guess because it was so different from anything else they were used to hearing from someone capable of such songwriting brilliance, and popularity, and influence? It was polarizing as I remember, but it's worth noting how annoyed Donovan Leitch has been over the years for being accused for imitating Dylan's sound as early as "Catch the Wind" (1965) though he claimed that he didn't hear Dylan at all until after he'd recorded his first handful of tracks for Pye (believe it or not). ![]()
