In this revised and much expanded edition of Stephen Scobie's landmark study of Dylan's work, the author covers all the stages of a remarkable career: from his incandescent impact on the mid-1960s, when Dylan revolutionized folk and popular music, to his later reinvention of himself as a traveling performer-the old blues musician whose work may no longer be fashionable but is still intensely relevant and rewarding.The 1991 edition of Alias Bob Dylan was hailed as a definitive study. The present volume is greatly revised, expanded and updated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 2001 Bob Dylan will be sixty years old. Ten years ago, Clinton Heylin published his groundbreaking biography of the man. Behind the Shades, which The New Yorker recently singled out as "the most readable and reliable" of all Dylan biographies. This new, updated version has been completely rewritten from the bottom up, is significantly enlarged, and takes into account not only the last tumultuous decade of Dylan's life, but an additional decade of research by the author. The result is the definitive biography of the man many argue is the singular figure in twentieth-century popular culture. Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisited follows Dylan along one of the most extraordinary and daring paths ever taken by a performing artist: his awkward childhood in Minnesota his arrival in New York and rise as the unwitting leader of a political folk revolution his controversial move toward electric rock the spooky and uniquely American Basement Tapes his forays into country-western music the lost albums of the eighties his paranoia, addiction, and seclusion his reemergence after a near-fatal 1997 heart infection with the triple Grammy Award-winning Time Out of Mind the endless touring life the hundreds of timeless songs that have become a part of American and worldwide consciousness Most biographies of Bob Dylan are mired in the sixties, but Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisited is the only one that gives equal weight to all the extraordinary phases of Dylan's forty-year career. As ever, Dylan remains an endlessly fascinating, mysterious, and obsessively private man. For years he has managed to keep much of his personal life a secret, and Clinton Heylin, Dylan's most prolific chronicler, remains the first biographer to give the world a true sense of what drives, inspires, influences, and shapes the man behind the music, the man behind the shades.

This book examines Dylan's surreal genius at this important turning point in his career, as well as in the general history of rock, and discusses what it was like to work with the man who unleashed this masterpiece upon an unsuspecting, folk-loving public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as “the War and Peace of rock and roll” by Bob Dylan himself, this is the ultimate backstage pass to Dylan’s legendary 1975 tour across America—by a former Rolling Stone reporter prominently featured in Martin Scorsese’s Netflix documentary Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story. In 1975, as Bob Dylan emerged from eight years of seclusion, he dreamed of putting together a traveling music show that would trek across the country like a psychedelic carnival. The dream became reality, and On the Road with Bob Dylan is the behind-the-scenes look at what happened when Dylan and the Rolling Thunder Revue took to the streets of America. With the intimate detail of a diary, Larry “Ratso” Sloman’s mesmerizing account both transports us to a celebrated period in rock history and provides us with a vivid snapshot of Dylan during this extraordinary time. This reissue of the 1978 classic resonates more than ever as it chronicles one of the most glittering rock circuses ever assembled, with a cast that includes Joan Baez, Robbie Robertson, Joni Mitchell, Allen Ginsberg, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and a wild entourage of groupies, misfits, sinners, and saints who trailed along for the ride. Sloman candidly captures the all-night revelry and musical prowess—from the backstage antics to impromptu jams—that made the tour a nearly mystical experience. Complete with vintage photos and a new introduction by renowned Texas musician, mystery writer, and Revue member Kinky Friedman, this is an unparalleled treat for Dylan fans old and new. Without question, On the Road with Bob Dylan is a remarkable, revealing piece of writing and a rare up-close and personal view of Dylan on tour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Japanese verse form, American haiku contains three lines with a five/seven/five syllable structure. While haiku is so much associated with the land of its birth, it was a favorite of Kerouac and the Beat poets, who popularized the verse standard in America and used it to express their wanderlust and melancholy. Poets since have used it in a much more lighthearted way. If there was one musician who comes close to the style of the Beats, it's Bob Dylan. The prolific singer and songwriter looms large over the music scene to this day. His songs can tell a whole story, and they often have many verses. Surprisingly, sometimes the best way to convey the complexity of his work is with the greatest simplicity. Writer and Bob Dylan fan Robert MacMillan is the first to make this connection. He celebrates Dylan's legacy (and verbosity) by condensing Dylan's many songs into haiku. Each beautiful (and sometimes cheeky) haiku is accompanied by background about the associated song, with an examination of its lyrics and meaning. Music interpretation becomes an art form itself in this new poetry collection.

Book excerpt: A brilliantly written and groundbreaking book about Dylan's music – now the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature 2016 – and its musical, political and cultural roots in early 20th-century America Growing up in Greenwich Village in the 1960s Sean Wilentz discovered the music of Bob Dylan as a young teenager. Almost half a century later, now a distinguished professor of American history, he revisits Dylan's work with the critical skills of a scholar and the passion of a fan. Drawing partly on his work as the current historian-in-residence on Dylan's official website, Sean Wilentz provides a unique blend of biography, memoir and analysis in a book which, much like its subject, shifts gears and changes shape as the occasion demands.
