Bob Dylans debut album Bob Dylan was released in the Untied States. Initially poor sales led the record to be known around Columbia Records as Hammond's Folly (John Hammond was producer of Dylans early recordings and the man responsible for signing Dylan). The album was praised by the New York City weekly newspaper Village Voice as an explosive country blues debut, but featured only two Dylan original compositions, Talkin' New York and Song To Woody, the rest being old folk standards.
