A review by theyalibrarian
Bob Dylan in America by Sean Wilentz

5.0

Definitely not what I was expecting, but that's okay because it was better. Wilentz traces Dylan's influences... Musical, literary, political, and historical... And he does so in-depth. Which allows the Dylan fan to understand and take so much more from his art. Additionally, the author offers comprehensive analysis on lyrics, performances, documentaries, and films. Finally, Wilentz informs on much of Dylan's lesser known material which aids the fan/reader to be introduced to masterpieces they may otherwise have not known about (Blind Willie McTell, for instance).
