1* GrowingTheBeard: Dylan grew a mustache here, starting with "Blowin' in the Wind", where he finally learned that he didn't need to cover the same folk songs as everyone else; he could write originals and make more timely statements.
2* HilariousInHindsight: The line "wants me to grow a mustache on my face" in "I Shall Be Free". A thin mustache has been one of Dylan's visual trademarks since around 2001.
3* SignatureSong: "Blowin' in the Wind", which can be considered as Dylan's first big classic ever. "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" is not far behind, however.
4* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Most of the songs could be classified as rewrites of other songs.
5** "Blowin' In The Wind"--"No More Auction Block [traditional]
6** "Girl From The North Country" -- "Scarborough Fair" [traditional]
7** "Masters of War" -- "Nottamun Town" [traditional]
8** "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" -- "Lord Randall" [traditional]
9** "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" -- "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone?" [Paul Clayton]
10*** And, in turn, Music/JohnnyCash rewrote "Don't Think Twice" as "Understand Your Man".
11** "Bob Dylan's Dream" -- "Lady Franklin's Lament" [traditional]
