Bob Dylan: A Biography
ABOUT THE BOOK
In 2012, 70-year-old Bob Dylan marked the 50th anniversary of his debut album, Bob Dylan. For a half-century, the artist's genius forged modern culture and challenged ideas of what it meant to be a musician. Dylan pushed the envelope in the music world time and again. He was a reluctant spokesperson for the protest movement of the 1960s. His driven creative journey through music genres, film, literature and painting established a rich body of work provocatively articulating the human experience of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Dylan's second album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, was released in 1963. Unlike the earlier folk album, it primarily contained original songs, including the iconic Blowin' In the Wind, and anti-war songs, Masters of War and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall. Established artists Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Joan Baez recorded Dylan's new wave protest music, launching his image as a spokesperson of the Vietnam anti-war era. Despite populace pressure, it was a role Dylan refused to claim. Songs from the period, such as Blowin' In The Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin' found their way into the American songbook.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
Bob Dylan's closely guarded personal story and struggles are enfolded in the deep lines across his aged face. Known for his cool relationship with the media and his celebrity status, the intimate details of the artist's world may best be detected in his body of work. At once untamed and tender, curious and angry, Dylan's fearless musical confrontations with raw emotion and truth won him both friends and enemies. "I feel just like Jesse James," he cries in the song Outlaw Blues. His depth of longing, love and tenderness are unveiled in the exquisite love songs Make You Feel My Love and Lay Lady Lay.
One of Dylan's most public romantic relations was with folksinger Joan Baez. The two were involved for a brief period beginning in 1963. The relationship forwarded both of their musical careers. He opened for Baez, already a headliner, and she performed Dylan's protest songs which secured her a firm place in the folk genre. The arrangement with Baez introduced Dylan to wider folk audiences.
