THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. One of
the music world’s pre-eminent critics takes a fresh and much-needed
look at the day Dylan “went electric” at the Newport Folk Festival.
On the evening of July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport
Folk Festival, backed by an electric band, and roared into his new rock
hit, Like a Rolling Stone. The audience of committed folk purists and
political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet
reacted with a mix of shock, booing, and scattered cheers. It was the
shot heard round the world—Dylan’s declaration of musical independence,
the end of the folk revival, and the birth of rock as the voice of a
generation—and one of the defining moments in twentieth-century music.
In Dylan Goes Electric!, Elijah Wald explores the cultural, political
and historical context of this seminal event that embodies the
transformative decade that was the sixties. Wald delves deep into the
folk revival, the rise of rock, and the tensions between traditional
and groundbreaking music to provide new insights into Dylan’s artistic
evolution, his special affinity to blues, his complex relationship to
the folk establishment and his sometime mentor Pete Seeger, and the
ways he reshaped popular music forever. Breaking new ground on a story
we think we know, Dylan Goes Electric! is a thoughtful, sharp appraisal
of the controversial event at Newport and a nuanced, provocative,
analysis of why it matters.
