Even decades later, Dylan continues to perform and release new music. Albums such as Tin Angel (2001) and Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020) reveal a mind still in motion, blending poetic lyricism with introspective storytelling. While Dylan’s "best" may be debated—whether his early protest songs, folk-rock classics, or later spiritual works—the consensus is that his impact is unparalleled. His songs have been covered by countless artists, and his lyrics (collected in The Lyrics: 1961–2012 ) have redefined how songwriting is perceived as a literary art form.
