Bob Dylan is still singing the songs which for decades have made him the most preeminent voices of our time. 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. Dylan work is intensely relevant and rewarding. Rediscover Dylan with Stephen Scobie?s outstanding portrait of this Noble Laureate.
The 1991 edition of Alias Bob Dylan was hailed as a definitive study. The present volume is greatly revised, expanded and updated.
"Scobie effectively does what Dylan does—he weds high art and popular culture, and leaves some blood on the tracks."
— The Toronto Star
"With a poet's eye and voice, Scobie reflects on the singer's rich language and music, his learned perceptions sparking epiphanies of understanding."
— Victoria Times Colonist
"Post-modernist criticism finally reaches Bob Dylan via this entertaining, often elinghtening tome."
— Record Collector (England)
