In private, he soon went on to record this treasure trove (138 tracks!) of material with his touring band (yet to become famous as The Band, the granddaddies of Americana, ironically 80% Canadian) instead at a series of informal jamming and home recording sessions at the basement - hence the title - of The Band's Woodstock H.Q. The accident - seriousness of which has been debated - gave Dylan respite from the type of punishing touring schedule you wouldn't subject a machine to these days, and all the bad habits acquired to sustain and cope with it. The 25-year old Dylan who went flying over the handlebars of his motorcycle in the Woodstock area of upstate New York (Dylan's homebase at that time) early one morning in July 1966 was a bona fide legend.

Done with that in 1965, Dylan plugged in, unleashing a torrent of amphetamine-poetry visions set to a pumping rhythm 'n' blues beat that marked the point when rock (serious artistic intent for the hip grown-ups) officially split up from pop (sugar-sweet nothings for undemanding ears). To start off with, Dylan became a bard for the protest-folk movement in the early 60's, crafting a rich raft of songs that transcended the typical topical limitations of the era and genre they were written in to become timeless classics.
