My favorite Bob Dylan record is the very first one where he sings one Bob Dylan song and the rest of them are his interpretations of the Dust Bowl-era folk songs, or even going back as far as the mass influx of people coming into the U.S. during the gold rush.

Folk songs express the dreams and prayers and hopes of the working people.
I love a lot of Irish folk music and Irish folk songs.
