'The definitive, scrupulously researched biography of a life
steeped in mystery' Observer The definitive biography of one
contemporary culture's most iconic and mysterious figures - musical
revolutionary, Nobel Prize-winner, chart-topping recording artist
In 2016 it was announced that Bob Dylan had sold his personal
archive to the George Kaiser Foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
reportedly for $22 million. As the boxes started to arrive, the
Foundation asked Clinton Heylin - author of the acclaimed Bob
Dylan: Behind the Shades and 'perhaps the world's authority on all
things Dylan' (Rolling Stone) - to assess the material they had
been given. What he found in Tulsa - as well as what he gleaned
from other papers he had recently been given access to by Sony and
the Dylan office - so changed his understanding of the artist,
especially of his creative process, that he became convinced that a
whole new biography was needed. It turns out that much of what
previous biographers - Dylan himself included - have said is wrong;
often as not, a case of, Print the Legend. With fresh and revealing
information on every page A Restless, Hungry Feeling tells the
story of Dylan's meteoric rise to fame: his arrival in early 1961
in New York, where he is embraced by the folk scene; his elevation
to spokesman of a generation whose protest songs provide the
soundtrack for the burgeoning Civil Rights movement; his alleged
betrayal when he 'goes electric' at Newport in 1965; his subsequent
controversial world tour with a rock 'n' roll band; and the
recording of his three undisputed electric masterpieces: Bringing
it All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde. At the
peak of his fame in July 1966 he reportedly crashes his motorbike
in Woodstock, upstate New York, and disappears from public view.
When he re-emerges, he looks different, his voice sounds different,
his songs are different. That other story will be told in Volume 2,
to be published in autumn 2022. Clinton Heylin's meticulously
researched, all-encompassing and consistently revelatory account of
these fascinating early years is the closest we will ever get to a
definitive life of an artist who has been the lodestar of popular
culture for six decades.
