"some of his early acoustic songs sound like a pastiche of Bob Dylan." I think this might be underselling things.

And I think Dylan's own backing band The Band should probably be mentioned as a key influence as well, CF https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/bruce-springsteen-dedicates-ill-see-you-in-my-dreams-robbie-robertson-1235388953/
