In his seventh decade and still going strong, Bob Dylan is the ultimate singer-songwriter - hugely revered, bafflingly idiosyncratic, an enigma and a music legend responsible for a staggering number of classic songs. This new Rough Guide clarifies the mysteries surrounding the man and the music, looking at the lyrics, the influences, the legends, and the musicians he worked with. Features include: The Life: from Minnesota to Manchester, from the Albert Hall to the Never Ending Tour. The Music: 50 essential Dylan songs and the stories behind them; the albums, the bootlegs and the compilations; covers, comic songs and curiosities.
