Description: Bob Dylan has always regarded himself as a songwriter: I am my words he wrote in 1964. Distilling a lifetime's passion and study leading Dylan author Clinton Heylin charts the development and first moments of genius of this unique artist whose songs changed the world. From his first attempts at writing Song to Bridget in 1957, (apparently for Brigitte Bardot) Bob Dylan always aspired to poetry yet his role as a writer rather than a performer of his own songs is often overlooked. In over fifty years of creativity he had penned some of the most iconic and perfect songs in popular history. Arriving in New York in 1961, the city had an enormous impact on the young artist and as he established himself amongst the folk clubs and artists he would produce songs that spoke for a whole generation: Blowing in the Wind A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall The Times They Are a Changin' Like a Rolling Stone and Forever Young. In Revolution in the Air Clinton Heylin recounts the story of each song as it is written giving a full appreciation of the songs themselves as well as Dylan the emerging artist. Unlike any other book on Dylan it charts his rise as a writer where he gained his inspiration the burst of energy which produced some of his most famous songs as well as the lesser known stories behind the more iconic verses. This is an essential book for anyone interested in Dylan and his place in literature. Informative opinionated packed with new insights and revelations this is an instant classic.
