"This updated examination of Dylan's five-decade career provides a comprehensive analysis of his writing and recording history, including and in-depth look at his shocking autobiography and an exploration of his many rare bootleg recordings"--Provided by publisher.
An album-by-album, song-by-song critical analysis of all of Dylan's recordings. Entries include the album's production personnel and dates, the position it reached on the Billboard charts, the singles and out-takes, a description of the liner notes and the cover, and a critique of the overall album and each song on it. Filmographic data and analyses are provided for movies and television shows in which Dylan has appeared. A look at his two extensive radio interviews and his novel Tarantula completes the work (which is a sewn and glued paperback rather than the anticipated library binding).
