Inhaltsangabe
Bestselling author David Dalton goes in seach of the real Bob Dylan in an electrifying biography that puts all the others in the shade.
As an artist Bob Dylan has been a major force for half a century. As a musical influence he is without equal. Yet as a man he has always acted like an outlaw on the run, constantly seeking to cover his tracks by confounding investigators with a dizzying array of aliases, impersonations, tall tales and downright lies.
David Dalton presents Dylan's extraordinary life in such a way that his subject's techniques for hiding in full sight are gradually exposed for what they are, Despite the changing images, the spiritual body swerves, the manipulative nature and the occasionally baffling lurches between making sublime music and self-indulgent whimsy, the real Bob Dylan has never been more visible.
Among the eyewitnesses cited are Marianne Faithful, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, Larry 'Ratso' Sloman, Nat Hentoff, Suze Rotolo and many more. Yet in the end it is Dalton's impressive ability to find revealing patterns in Dylan's multiple disguises that reveals more than we ever expected to learn about the real man behind the Dylan legend.

Aus dem Klappentext
Even after five decades in the spotlight, Bob Dylan remains as relevant as ever. He continues to sell out shows on a "never ending tour," and his 2009 album, Together Through Life, was both critically praised and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. His two previous albums, Modern Times and Love and Theft, reached platinum and gold, respectively. This book is published to co-incide with the 50th anniversary of Dylan's first album Bob Dylan. Few American artists are as important, beloved and endlessly examined as Bob Dylan, yet he remains something of an enigma. Now - veteran journalist David Dalton - paints a revealing portrait of the rock icon that will be a must-have for his legions of fans. In this new biography, he interviews a whole new group of family, friends, and collaborators to shed light on this fascinating star. Includes exclusive interviews with Joan Baez, Keith Richards, Bobby Neuwirth, Kris Kristofferson, Suze Rotolo, Clive Davis, Tom Petty, and others - this book will provide a new perspective on the man, the myth, and the musical era that forged them both.
