Description
|
|
|
|
A Bancroft Prize–winning historian as well as a Grammy nominated musicologist, Sean Wilentz discovered the music of Bob Dylan as a teenager, and has since become the "historian in residence" of Dylan's official website. Here Wilentz revisits Dylan's career with both exemplary scholarship and the passion of a fan, producing a unique blend of fact, interpretation, and affinity. "Wilentz is very, very good on the actual music. In fact, the centerpiece of his book is a vivid look at the Blonde on Blonde sessions, during which the musicians teased and groped their way toward the album's 'thin, wild mercury sound,' in Dylan's famous description."—NYTBR "Unlike so many Dylan-writer-wannabes and phony 'encyclopedia' compilers, Sean Wilentz makes me feel he was in the room when he chronicles events that I participated in. Finally a breath of fresh words founded in hardcore, intelligent research."—Al Kooper
