The Roving Gamblers - Number one Bob Dylan fansite

Dylan tired of his stardom very quickly. He moved out of New York City in the hopes of being forgotten, and moved to Woodstock. Unfortunately people soon found his new home, and began to climb over the fences to catch a look at the "messiah" of pop music (indeed, this is why the Woodstock festival appeared at Woodstock, because Dylan moved there). Dylan sought to alienate the fans, but didn't know how to, so he decided to play country music.
	Bob Dylan released "Nashville Skyline" in 1969. Unbelievably, this wasn't Bob's first Nashville album - Blonde on Blonde was actually recorded there. The album was unlike anything Dylan had recorded before, and as well as alienating the folk community, Dylan also managed to alienate the rock and roll community.
In Dylan's autobiography, Dylan says that the album was released to distance himself from fame at a time when he simply wanted to spend time with his family. Dylan followed up "Nashville Skyline" with "Self Portrait" (pictured, right), an album filled with covers and bizarre choices, including a cover of Paul Simon's "The Boxer" in which Dylan sings both parts of the harmony dubbed together.
