In 1965, Dylan made an unexpected step from folk to rock and gave a performance in Newport to accompaniment of the blues band The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Having signed a contract with Columbia, he produced his first albums Bob Dylan (1962), The Freewheelin` Bob Dylan (1963) and the most popular The Times They Are A-Changin (1964), and became one of the leading figures in the civil right movement.

In the sixties, Dylan recorded his most celebrated works with a strong civil right message. In 1959, he gave up the university studies, took up the pseudonym Bob Dylan (after his favorite poet Dylan Thomas) and moved to New York.

In a short while, he began his own musical career performing his own repertoire to the acoustic guitar and harmonica.
