@FireMonkey Dylan's style is called "Talking Blues" which is possibly a precursor to rap, but...
He's by no means the first artist of the genre.

Cool, just a thought I had.
Other artists?

@FireMonkey Woody Guthrie for one, who with Johnny Cash (think Boy Named Sue. It's pure Talking Blues!) was a massive influence on Dylan.
From what I can work out it goes back to the 1920s.

This article looks interesting.

Nice. Of course Dylan had influences before him. I knew someone could educate me. Thanks for the rabbit hole to go explore. 🐇
