"In 1974 Bob Dylan wrote, recorded, reconsidered, and then re-recorded one of the best studio albums of his entire career. It was called Blood on the Tracks, and to this day few who hear it can avoid being transformed by its emotional power. Songs like 'Tangled Up in Blue,' 'Idiot Wind' and 'Shelter from the Storm' have become templates for adult songs of love, longing and loss. Yet the story behind the creation of this album has never been fully told; even the credits on the present-day album sleeve are inaccurate. The authors have drawn upon first-hand information and interviews with the musicians and producers, industry insiders, and with Dylan's friends and relatives. What results is a unique and utterly engaging chronicle of how one musician channeled his personal pain and confusion into great art." [jacket copy] "Gill is a skilled British music journalist, as is Odegard, who was one of the Minneapolis session musicians Dylan used to redo five songs recorded three months earlier in New York City. The authors look at the album they believe 'set a new benchmark in confessional songwriting' by looking at it from every possible angle: Dylan's musical decision to return to folk after his electric and country periods; the disintegration of his marriage to his first wife, Sara, in the wake of various affairs; his strained relationship with his younger brother, David, who helped remake the album in Minneapolis. While the authors do give a truly complete sense of the background that produced the album, much of this has been covered in far more detail in Clinton Heylin's Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisited (which the authors cite) and will be familiar to all Dylan fans. Fortunately, the authors shine throughout the rest of the book, which presents an enormous amount of previously unreported detail about the making of the album, down to the kind of microphones that were used. Their descriptions of the energy and enthusiasm of these musicians will make even the most hardcore Dylan fan hear Blood on the Tracks anew."---Publishers Weekly.
