In this book, Andy Gill assesses the circumstances behind Dylan's
most famous songs, tracing the artist's progress from young tyro
folkie to acclaimed protest singer, and through the subsequent
changes which saw him invent folk-rock and transform rock 'n' roll
with symbolist poetry, before retreating into country-tinged
conservatism just as his followers were engaged in the great
psychedelic freak-show of the late 1960s. Even then, he couldn't
help but innovate, introducing the world to another strain of
popular music-country-rock-which would come to dominate the
American charts through the next decade. Always one step ahead of
the crowd, always pushing himself to extend the boundaries of his
art, the Dylan of the 1960s remains a beacon of integrity to which
fans and fellow musicians keep returning.
