About the Author

Bob Dylan is one of the most lauded and greatest loved songwriters and performers of all time. His particular brand of music first caught the public's attention in the 1960s, when he became something of a chronicler of the American conscience and cultural unrest. His remarkable career in music and literature continues to this day.

Actor/director/producer Sean Penn won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his searing performance in Clint Eastwood's Mystic River, and received Academy Award nominations as Best Actor for Dead Man Walking, Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown, and I Am Sam. He has worked on over thirty films.

This review is from: Chronicles Volume 1 (Audio) (v. 1) (Audio CD)

This is one of the best audio books ever. Sean Penn reads portions of Dylan's autobiography, and its essentially Sean Penn playing Bob Dylan. How much of this is fact, and how much is fiction? Who knows? Either way, it's absolutely fascinating. If you can find it, get it.
