Indispensable Guide to Four Decades of Dylan's Genius, January 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bob Dylan Companion, Four Decades of Commentary (Paperback)
This handy, indispensable edited volume of Dylan essays, reviews, and interviews -- covering everything from the early 1960s to the blazing Neverending Tour -- reaches deep into Dylan's back pages, providing fans and casual readers alike with unique insight into Bob Dylan's writing, recording and touring philosophy, and religious beliefs. His transcendence and impact on American music and culture in the 20th century is contemplated by both avid admirers and, on occasion, even caustic conservative critics... Best of all, though, this volume pays proper attention to Dylan's work in the last 10-20 years -- a startling and welcome achievement for a Dylan commentary. Especially enlightening are recent interviews with Dylan and ample coverage of the Kennedy Center Honors, Time Out of Mind, and the many other projects and accolades of recent years.
