ĭylan's father Abram Zimmerman and his mother Beatrice "Beatty" Stone were part of a small, close-knit Jewish community. In his autobiography, Chronicles: Volume One, Dylan wrote that his paternal grandmother's family was originally from the Kağızman district of Kars Province in northeastern Turkey. His maternal grandparents, Florence and Ben Stone, were Lithuanian Jews who had arrived in the United States in 1902.

The Pulitzer Prize Board in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power". Dylan has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award. He has sold more than 145 million records, making him one of the best-selling musicians ever. Since 1994, Dylan has published nine books of paintings and drawings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. Dylan has toured continuously since the late 1980s on what has become known as the Never Ending Tour. He also recorded a series of three albums of traditional American standards, especially songs recorded by Frank Sinatra, and an album smoothing his early rock material into a mellower Americana sensibility, Shadow Kingdom (2023). He has released five critically acclaimed albums of original material since then, the most recent being Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020). Dylan's 1997 album Time Out of Mind marked the beginning of a renaissance for his career. In the late 1970s, he became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock-based idiom in the early 1980s. In 1975, he released Blood on the Tracks, which many saw as a return to form. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dylan explored country music and rural themes in John Wesley Harding (1967), Nashville Skyline (1969), and New Morning (1970). These recordings were later released as the collaborative album The Basement Tapes in 1975. During this period, he recorded a large body of songs with members of the Band, who had previously backed him on tour. In July 1966, a motorcycle accident led to Dylan's withdrawal from touring. His six-minute single " Like a Rolling Stone" (1965) expanded commercial and creative boundaries in popular music. In 19, Dylan drew controversy among folk purists when he adopted electrically amplified rock instrumentation, and in the space of 15 months recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the 1960s: Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited (both 1965) and Blonde on Blonde (1966). He went on to release the politically charged The Times They Are a-Changin' and the more lyrically abstract and introspective Another Side of Bob Dylan in 1964. Many of his songs adapted the tunes and phrasing of older folk songs. The album features "Blowin' in the Wind" and the thematically complex " A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall". Following his self-titled debut album of traditional folk songs in 1962, he made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan the next year. His lyrics during this period incorporated political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as " Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and " The Times They Are a-Changin' " (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and antiwar movements. Generally regarded as one of the greatest songwriters ever, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture over his 60 year career.
