Experience Music Project presents Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966, which has traveled to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City and theWeisman Art Museum in Minneapolis, now to the Skirball here in Los Angeles.  Few figures in the history of American popular music have reached the status of Bob Dylan. As the man who showed the world that popular music could be classified as art, Dylan has created a distinctly American body of work to match the legacies of Walt Whitman, Louis Armstrong, and his early musical hero, Woody Guthrie. Many people have declared Dylan’s lyrics to be poetry; his songs also unearth and revitalize the American folk and blues tradition, serving as a key link in the chain that extends from Southern work songs, blues and Anglo American ballads to the many contemporary singer-songwriters for whom Dylan is a main influence. But Dylan’s story is not simply that of a musical evolution. As a public figure and artistic innovator, he has taken and chronicled a journey emblematic of modern America’s own development.

Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966, features more than 150 artifacts, including Dylan’s 1949 Martin 00-17 guitar, typed and handwritten lyrics, rare concert posters and handbills, signed albums, and dozens of photographs, as well as unique artifacts from artists such as Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie, Carolyn Hester, Bruce Langhorne and D. A. Pennebaker. The exhibition features five films exploring different facets of Bob Dylan’s career, with rare performance footage and interviews with Dylan and other key artists such as Baez, Langhorne and Robbie Robertson. In addition to the films, two viewing stations allow visitors to watch excerpts from the Dylan films Don’t Look Back and Eat the Document, as well as excerpts of interviews with Dylan reflecting on his early career.  

Throughout the exhibition space are six listening stations that enable visitors to hear Dylan’s musical evolution and innovations during this 10-year period. Each station includes tracks from his first seven albums, as well as outtakes, bootlegs, cover versions and other songs that influenced Dylan’s work. An hour-long audio tour features Bob Dylan and other artists and individuals such as Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, Al Kooper, Robbie Robertson, Mavis Staples and Izzy Young, sharing their stories and insights about Dylan, music and the turbulent sixties.
