The movie is coming out tomorrow, December 25, 2024. Elijah Wald has been quoted as saying, "It’s not historically accurate, but it is poetically accurate."
Wald has created a playlist of Folkways (now Smithsonian-Folkways) recordings. On Facebook, he says about it, "Whether or not you're interested in the new film, or Dylan... Smithsonian/Folkways asked me to compile a Dylan-related playlist from their catalog and I took it as an opportunity to make a deep dive into a lot of my favorite music, back to when I was first getting into this stuff. Some of the connections are obvious, some less so; all of it is music I was glad to hear again, with a few tracks I'd never heard, and a bunch I wanted other people to check out."
"From the moment he took an interest in folk music, Bob Dylan was intimately engaged with Folkways Records, and that engagement continued throughout his early years in New York and on to the present day. He learned songs from Folkways LPs, wrote songs based on material he’d heard on Folkways, had friends who recorded for Folkways, and eventually, he and others recorded his own songs for the label.
"This playlist touches all those bases and, while following Dylan’s journey, gives a sense of the breadth of his influences and the Folkways catalog."

I'm going to look for some other background info to add to the thread.
