Book excerpt: Bob Dylan transcends music. He has established himself as one of the most important figures in entertainment history. This biography examines the life and work of the iconic artist, including his groundbreaking achievements of the last two decades. In this thematically organized biography, cultural historian and prolific biographer Bob Batchelor examines one of the most important yet elusive figures in modern history. Rather than taking an exhaustive and cumbersome chronological approach to Bob Dylan's 50-plus year career, the author focuses on the most significant aspects of his life and accomplishments. This work examines the musician's life and career by placing him in the context of contemporary American history and culture. Dylan's music and lyrics are at the center of the analysis, while attention is also paid to how his image transformed as he moved from being the "voice of a generation" during the 1960s to becoming a bonafide rock and roll icon. Readers will appreciate the book for its in-depth, scholarly coverage that remains readable and engaging, and gain a full appreciation for Dylan's place in American history and cultural evolution.

Book excerpt: Bob Dylan: Outlaw Blues by Spencer Leigh is a fresh take on this famous yet elusive personality, a one-man hall of mirrors who continues to intrigue his followers worldwide. It is an in-depth account with new information and fascinating opinions, both from the author and his interviewees. Whether you are a Dylan fan or not, you will be gripped by this remarkable tale. Most performers create their work for public approval, but at the centre of this book is a mercurial man who doesn't trust his own audience. If he feels he is getting too much acclaim, he tends to veer off in another direction. Despite his age, Bob Dylan still tours extensively. Famously known for not looking happy, the author looks at what motivates him. 'Journalists are very fond of saying Bob Dylan is an enigma,' says Spencer Leigh, 'but that word is flawed. It's as good as saying you don't know... I have not called Bob Dylan an enigma at any point in the book as I have tried to find answers.' Spencer Leigh has spoken to over 300 musicians, friends and acquaintances of Bob Dylan in his research for this book.

Book excerpt: A close examination of Bob Dylan's songs that locates his transgressive style within a long history of modern (and modernist) art. The 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature recognized Bob Dylan as a major modern artist, elevating his work beyond the world of popular music. In this book, Timothy Hampton focuses on the details and nuances of Dylan's songs, showing how they work as artistic statements designed to create meaning and elicit emotion. With Bob Dylan's Poetics, Hampton offers a unique examination of both the poetics and politics of Dylan's compositions. He studies Dylan not as a pop hero, but as an artist, as a maker of songs. Focusing on the interplay of music and lyric, Hampton traces Dylan's innovative use of musical form, his complex manipulation of poetic diction, and his dialogues with other artists, from Woody Guthrie to Arthur Rimbaud. Moving from Dylan's earliest experiments with the blues through his mastery of rock and country to his densely allusive more recent recordings, Hampton offers a detailed account of Dylan's achievement. Locating Dylan in the long history of artistic modernism, he examines the relationships among form, genre, and the political and social themes that crisscross Dylan's work. With this book, Hampton offers both a nuanced engagement with the work of a major artist and a meditation on the contribution of song at times of political and social change.

Wasting no time upon arrival, he performed at the Cafe Wha? in his first day in the city, under the name Bob Dylan. Over the next decade the cultural milieu of Greenwich Village would foster the emergence of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. From the coffeehouses of MacDougal Street to Andy Warhol's Factory, Dylan honed his craft by drifting in and out of New York's thriving arts scenes of the 1960s and early ,70s. In this revised edition, originally published in 2011, author June Skinner Sawyers captures the thrill of how a city shaped an American icon and the people and places that were the touchstones of a legendary journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan's life in music is revisited by his foremost interpreter -- weaving individual moods and moments into a brilliant history of their changing times. The book begins in Berkeley in 1968, and ends with a piece on Dylan's show at the University of Minnesota -- his very first appearance at his alma mater -- on election night 2008. In between are moments of euphoric discovery: From Marcus's liner notes for the 1967 Basement Tapes (pop music's most famous bootlegged archives) to his exploration of Dylan's reimagining of the American experience in the 1997 Time Out of Mind. And rejection; Marcus's Rolling Stone piece on Dylan's album Self Portrait -- often called the most famous record review ever written -- began with "What is this shit?" and led to his departure from the magazine for five years. Marcus follows not only recordings but performances, books, movies, and all manner of highways and byways in which Bob Dylan has made himself felt in our culture. Together the dozens of pieces collected here comprise a portrait of how, throughout his career, Bob Dylan has drawn upon and reinvented the landscape of traditional American song, its myths and choruses, heroes and villains. They are the result of a more than forty-year engagement between an unparalleled singer and a uniquely acute listener.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: »Ohne ihn wäre ich mit Sicherheit nie Musiker geworden.« Wolfgang Niedecken über Bob Dylan. »Für mich ist er der größte unter den amerikanischen Songwritern. Kein anderer Musiker hat mir einen tieferen Einblick in die amerikanische Seele gegeben. Viele meiner Songs wären ohne das Werk Bob Dylans nicht entstanden.« Es gibt sicher keinen anderen deutschen Musiker, der eine solche Nähe zu Bob Dylan hat, wie Wolfgang Niedecken. Seit Jahrzehnten prägt er mit seiner Band BAP und als Solomusiker die deutschsprachige Rockmusik und setzt sich dabei immer wieder mit dem Werk Bob Dylans auseinander: Er hat zahlreiche Coverversionen von Dylan Songs veröffentlicht, hat Bob Dylans Buch »Chronicles« als Hörbuch eingelesen und im Buchhandel und auf Veranstaltungen präsentiert, er ist den Lebensspuren Bob Dylans in der ARTE-Produktion »Bob Dylans Amerika« gefolgt, er hat sein Vorbild mehrmals persönlich getroffen. In seinem Buch erzählt Wolfgang Niedecken lebendig von diesen Treffen und den Berührungspunkten zwischen seinem eigenen Werk und den Inspirationen, die er durch die Musik und die Texte des Literatur-Nobelpreisträgers Bob Dylan erhalten hat.

This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Musicology - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Department of English), language: English, abstract: As an aficionado of filmed biographies, I came across the 2007 released movie "Factory Girl". This girl, who is better known as Edie Sedgwick or Andy Warhol’s first “Superstar”, was familiar to me due to a Warhol exposition I had seen before. Nevertheless, one thing impressed me: besides her platonic relationship with Warhol, another man in the movie turns out to play an important role. It was a man, with whom the “Factory Girl” falls in love with, but is ultimately left by which influenced on her tragically ending way. It did not take long to find out that this film character was clearly portraying Bob Dylan As the biographical movie itself only covers a 90 minute long Hollywood adaption of Edie Sedgwick’s life, I was motivated to learn more about Dylan’s real connection to her, the Factory’s role, and Andy Warhol. Thus, my mission seemed clear: listening closer to Dylan’s albums of the 1960s and checking both biographies as well as related literature in order to find connections between the two artist’s worlds. The difficulty of interpreting Dylan’s songs or arranging the facts one knows about his life made the challenge even more worthwhile. Although the idea of finding a connection between both personalities in his music seemed ridiculously far-fetched during the first albums, I finally hit pay dirt on "Blonde on Blonde". Two songs of the album feature ‘Edian’ characteristics and rumors have been supporting this hypothesis for years. As a result, this work aims on revealing these myths and finding a possible truth between the artist Bob Dylan, two particular songs of his album Blonde on Blonde, and Edie Sedgwick. To begin with, the songs in question (“Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat” and “Just Like a Woman”) shall be analyzed closer. After considering its musical and lyrical value objectively, this work attempts to leave room for a rather objective interpretation. Next, the main part of this work is going to portray the time of the song’s emergence, Bob Dylan’s life back then, and in how far Edie Sedgwick’s life has intertwined with the artist’s world. With the help of time witnesses, I will finally try to separate rumors from facts and give an overview of why I am of the opinion that both songs have been inspired by Warhol’s “Superstar”.

Book excerpt: Anfang der Sechziger stieg Bob Dylan in weniger als drei Jahren zum Herold des neuen Amerika auf. Seine Songs begleiteten die Jugendbewegung bald in der ganzen Welt. Die Beatles sogen begierig jedes seiner Worte auf, die Byrds machten sie zum Gemeingut. James Dean gab das Tempo der neuen Zeit vor, und nie war es schöner, jung zu sterben. Alle folgten diesem Muster: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones – Bob Dylan hat es überlebt. Er fing mit Elvis an, mit Little Richard und mit Buddy Holly – und spielt noch immer. «There is no success like failure», singt er seit jetzt 50 Jahren, und ein besonderer Erfolg sei das ja nicht. Aber darf man dem Künstler trauen? Lügt er da nicht schamlos? Keiner ist so erfolgreich gescheitert wie Bob Dylan. Deshalb macht er auch weiter. Dafür hat er überlebt. Und wer überlebt hat, der geht querfeldein. Die Tournee darf niemals aufhören. 2016 wurde Bob Dylan der Nobelpreis für Literatur zuerkannt. Willi Winklers launig-subjektives Buch ist ein gelungener Entschlüsselungsversuch dieses rätselhaften, ewig hakenschlagenden, keinen Erwartungshaltungen entsprechenden Charakters.
