Bob Dylan noted that John Lennon took much inspiration from his music. He also believed Lennon let another American artist inspire him. Dylan thought Lennon lifted the beginning guitar portion of The Beatles’ “Revolution” from a 1954 song from American guitarist Pee Wee Crayton. He didn’t think Lennon did it purposely, though.
Bob Dylan believed John Lennon borrowed from a 1954 song
In 2008, Dylan put together an album called The Music That Matters To Me. On it, he highlighted the 1954 song “Do Unto Others” by Pee Wee Crayton. Crayton was an American blues guitarist. Dylan noted on the album’s liner notes that Crayton, like the other artists on the compilation album, “somehow managed to turn lead into gold for a couple of minutes.”
Dylan believed the song was more influential than one might initially think. He thought it was likely that Lennon had lifted the song’s opening guitar riff and used it for “Revolution.
