Set List Reader's Choice

In this edition of Set List Reader's Choice, your top favorite is actually a YouTube video - "Blowin' in the Wind" by Bob Dylan.

In this post, I thought I would briefly touch on the album source for "Blowin' in the Wind" - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.


Notes -
- 2nd album 
- Released in May 1963

The background behind The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album is to great extent and Wikipedia will best sum up the reading.
