Bob Neuwirth is an American singer, songwriter, record producer and visual artist. A mainstay of the early 1960s Cambridge, Massachusetts, folk scene, he subsequently became a friend and associate of Bob Dylan alongside whom he appears in D.A. Pennebaker's documentary "Dont Look Back" and Dylan's own self-referential romantic fantasy/tour film "Renaldo and Clara". (Neuwirth assembled the backing band for Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue.) With Janis Joplin and poet Michael McClure, he co-wrote the song "Mercedes Benz".
