The portrait of a very young Bob Dylan on the cover of "The Times
They Are a Changin" is probably one of the most recognizable and
famous album covers of all time. Photographer Barry Feinstein took
that photo, as well as many more of Dylan throughout his career.
His images have been published throughout the world many times
over, and have become synonymous with our perceptions of that place
and time in rock and folk music history.
Inspired by a series of photographs that Feinstein took in
Hollywood during the 1950s and 60s, Bob Dylan wrote an
extraordinary series of poems that have remained unpublished for
decades. They are thought-provoking, witty and erudite observations
of the world; through the lens of Feinstein's photographs, they
speak volumes about the anonymous faces and places of Los Angeles,
and offer wry commentary on images of stars and legends in the
neighbourhood at the time. Photos of Frank Sinatra, Marlene
Dietrich, Judy Garland float through the book, as do poignant
images of starlets, casting couches, employment agencies and palm
tree'd boulevards. Feinstein was there with a camera to capture
some world-famous events, such as Marilyn Monroe's memorial
service, and he photographed the forgettable moments, preserving
them perfectly and timelessly. Bob Dylan's unsettling and
distinctly unique perspective informs and enlivens every page, an
irresistible interpretive voice narrating the visual images from
photo to photo.
