Book Reviews of Bob Dylan (Icons of Pop Music)
Book Review: great introduction to Bob Dylan
Summary: 4 Stars
Keith Negus has written a very short but very informative book about Dylan. Hard core Dylan fans won't learn anything from it. It's just not THAT kind of book. For that, you want Michael Gray, Clinton Heylin, Greil Marcus, etc.
But given its modest ambitions, it's probably the best book available for someone who's just getting into Dylan's music and wants a complete overview without investing in a college course. The best thing about it is that Negus is interested as Dylan the MUSICIAN, rather than Dylan the poet or Dylan as the voice of his generation. If you've wondered why anyone would take Bobby Zimmerman seriously as a musician, here's the book to read.
