Never quite sung in this fashion before : Bob Dylan's "Man of Constant Sorrow"

I will first describe how "Man of Constant Sorrow" evolved up to the time of Dylan's recording, followed by a discussion of the process through which Dylan learned his version and internalized the song, making it his own. Parallel to this discussion of musical influences, I will talk about intellectual property and copyright, issues of central importance to folk music in the twentieth century.Note: The Peformance Artistry of Bob Dylan: Conference Proceedings of the Caen Colloquiu
