Publisher Description:
By far the most comprehensive book on Bob Dylan's words ever written, including a number of songs that no one has ever heard, this first volume will fundamentally change how his lyrics are interpreted and understood. Arranged in a surprising chronology of when they were actually written rather than when they appeared on albums--the middle verse of "Blowin' in the Wind" was written much later than the first and third verses, and the songs on John Wesley Harding were written prior to some of the songs on The Basement Tapes--hundreds of surprising facts are uncovered in this catalog of 300 songs, spanning his career prior to Blood on the Tracks. Newly discovered manuscripts, anecdotal evidence, and a seemingly limitless knowledge of every Dylan live performance contribute to this definitive resource of the words of a celebrated American singer-songwriter.
