Puts into context Dylan's disappearance from the public view in the late 1960s and his re-emergence for the Before the Flood tour.

Encyclopedic and exhaustive, this guide to the more than 500 songs Bob Dylan has covered, in concert or on record, details the history of each song and offers an explanation of how he came to perform them. His masterful interpretations range from the more obvious blues, country, folk, and gospel recordings to contemporary writers such as Warren Zevon and John Hiatt. In addition to the listing of these covered songs, this compendium also includes a lengthy section detailing all of the remaining tracks that Dylan has written for others, but which remain unrecorded by the man himself.

Bob Dylan changed the face of music in the 1960s with his poetic lyrics and raspy voice, and 40 years later, he continues to be a respected songwriter and musical force. Isis , the premier Dylan magazine, has covered the movements of this cultural icon for 20 years, and this anthology combines the best interviews and articles culled from the magazine's archives. Coupled with previously unpublished photographs, these chronological essays provide a unique take on Dylan-related events such as tours and new albums. Both casual and hardcore fans will appreciate this treasure trove of Dylan information.
