Decoding Dylan: Making Sense of the Songs That Changed Modern Culture
This book offers a fresh perspective on Bob Dylan's music, revealing him as a careful craftsman and student of songwriting. Drawing on new insights from his memoir Chronicles and other sources, Jim Curtis presents a radically new interpretation of Dylan's body of work.
Dylan's songs are seen as collages, combining themes and images from American popular culture and European high culture in ingeniously complex ways. This book explores the artistry behind these iconic songs and their enduring impact on American music.
