Dylan, Bob

Lyrics 1962-2001

New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, 2004. First Edition. Hardcover. “There must be some way out of here, said the Joker to the Thief.” Bob Dylan, All Along The Watchtower. American singer-songwriter, Bob Dylan, is generally considered as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, the most important American rock ‘n’ roller since Elvis Presely, a matchless poet, and the voice of his generation. Dylan’s career is one defined by exploration and experimentation. Starting as a folk artist Dylan, throughout his career, has navigated rock with albums like “Bringin' It All Back Home”; “Highway 61 Revisited”; and “Blonde on Blonde”, then after his infamous motorcycle accident in ‘66 he’d go on to play around with Country “John Wesley Harding”; “Nashville Skyline”; and “New Morning”. Dylan would even go on to become a born-again Christian and would release a number of contemporary gospel albums, until eventually in ‘97 he’d “return to form” with the album “Time Out Of Mind”, and go on to tour in perpetuity with the Never Ending Tour. As the title of this volume suggests, this tome is a collection of Dylan’s lyrics from the nascent beginnings of his career in ‘62 to the apotheosis of his artistic superpowers in ‘91, tracing every song from every album, showcasing Dylan’s development as both songwriter and poet extraordinaire.
