 By this time , Dylan and Baez were prominent in the civil rights movement , singing together at the March on Washington on August 28 , 1963 . Dylan 's third album , The Times They Are a @-@ <unk> ' , reflected a more <unk> and cynical Dylan . The songs often took as their subject matter contemporary stories , with " Only A <unk> In Their Game " addressing the murder of civil rights worker <unk> Evers ; and the <unk> " The <unk> Death of <unk> Carroll " the death of black hotel <unk> <unk> Carroll , at the hands of young white <unk> William <unk> . On a more general theme , " Ballad of Hollis Brown " and " North Country Blues " addressed despair engendered by the breakdown of farming and mining communities . This political material was accompanied by two personal love songs , " Boots of Spanish <unk> " and " One Too Many <unk> " .
