The raw material and interviews behind Anthony Scaduto's iconic
biography of Bob Dylan draw an intimate and multifaceted portrait
of the singer-songwriter who defined his era When Anthony Scaduto's
Bob Dylan: An Intimate Biography was first published in 1971, the
Nobel Prize-winning songwriter, at thirty, had already released
some of the most iconic albums of the 1960s, including Highway 61
Revisited and Blonde on Blonde. Scaduto's book was one of the first
to take an investigative journalist's approach to its subject and
set the standard for rock music biography. The Dylan Tapes,
compiled from thirty-six hours of interviews, is a
behind-the-scenes look at the making of Scaduto's landmark book-and
a close-up encounter with pivotal figures in Dylan's life. These
reel-to-reel tapes, found in a box in Scaduto's basement, are a
never-bootlegged trove of archival material about Dylan, drawn from
conversations with those closest to him during the early years of
his career. In the era of ten-second takes, these interviews offer
uncommon depth and immediacy as we listen to friends and lovers
recall the Dylan they knew as he created his professional persona
and perfected his craft-from folk music, protest songs, and
electric rock through the traumatic impact of a motorcycle crash to
his later, more self-reflecting songwriting. Echo Helstrom, Dylan's
"Girl from the North Country," is here, as are Suze Rotolo, who
graced the cover of the Freewheelin' album, and Joan Baez,
remembering her relationship "to Bobby." We hear from Mike Porco,
who gave Dylan his first gig in New York City; Sid and Bob Gleason,
who introduced him to his hero Woody Guthrie; folk artists from
Greenwich Village, like Phil Ochs and Ramblin' Jack Eliot; John
Hammond Sr., who gave him his first record contract; plus a host of
musicians, activists, folk historians, and archivists-and, of
course, Dylan himself. From these reflections and frank
conversations, many published here for the first time, a complex,
finely observed picture emerges of one of the best known yet most
enigmatic musicians of our time.
