...easily into decades: the folk ingenue of the '60s, fresh-faced from Hibbing, Minn., drawing from Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Woody Guthrie, busting with old blues, freshly learned folk songs and rock-fueled new ideas he was on the verge of unleashing. Then the folk-rock mystery rebel of the '70s, releasing insurgent basement tapes, performing benefits for Rubin ("Hurricane") Carter (a convicted murderer whose guilt he questioned).
