Bob Dylan has always regarded himself as a songwriter: 'I am my
words,' he wrote in 1964. Distilling a lifetime's passion and
study, leading Dylan author, Clinton Heylin charts the development
and first moments of genius of this unique artist whose songs
changed the world. From his first attempts at writing, Song to
Bridget, in 1957, (apparently for Brigitte Bardot) Bob Dylan always
aspired to poetry, yet his role as a writer rather than a performer
of his own songs is often overlooked. In over fifty years of
creativity he had penned some of the most iconic, and perfect,
songs in popular history. Arriving in New York in 1961, the city
had an enormous impact on the young artist and, as he established
himself amongst the folk clubs and artists, he would produce songs
that spoke for a whole generation: Blowing in the Wind, A Hard
Rain's Gonna Fall, The Times They Are a Changin', Like a Rolling
Stone, and Forever Young. In Revolution in the Air Clinton Heylin
recounts the story of each song as it is written, giving a full
appreciation of the songs themselves as well as Dylan the emerging
artist. Unlike any other book on Dylan, it charts his rise as a
writer, where he gained his inspiration, the burst of energy which
produced some of his most famous songs as well as the lesser known
stories behind the more iconic verses. This is an essential book
for anyone interested in Dylan and his place in literature.
Informative, opinionated, packed with new insights and revelations,
this is an instant classic.
