Bob Dylan Too Much of Nothing is a brand new book that takes a
fresh look at Dylan's restless search for a meaning to his life and
for a musical way forward too. Written by acknowledged Dylan expert
Derek Barker (editor of the best selling Dylan magazine) it
contains a wealth of new interviews and previously unknown
information. It also joins the dots of what is known to paint a
picture of an exceptional artist searching for answers. The book
starts with Dylan's retreat to Woodstock after the bruising 1966
World Tour which saw him exhausted and needing to find some inner
peace. He largely disappeared from view until he toured with The
Band before attempting to find his 'roots' with the Rolling Thunder
Review. It wasn't until he found Christianity that his seemed
sated. During this period Dylan's struggles saw him create some of
his most memorable and haunting albums. His search took him back to
the roots of American music and his is widely credited with
starting the Americana music and leading The Band to discover its
roots through the basement tapes and Dylan's own rediscovery of
folk through the Self Portrait sessions. It also includes John
Wesley Harding which is full of biblical allusions and the
astonishing Blood on The Tracks and Desire. The book includes 16
colour pages of pictures including rare images. The book makes
sense of a period that was not previously seen as having a common
thread and links his post bike-crash seclusion right through to his
finding Christianity on stage in the late Seventies.
