Bob. America. Enough said? A fascinating essey focusing on the roots and the context of Dylan's work on the broad landscape of today's USA. And yesterday's.

Wilentz is not only a scholar, reporter, and observer of Dylan here. He is weaving an anaylsis of Dylan's work and our constant wondering of what makes Bob tick? How does he arrive at his writing? Sure, we can all analyze Dylan's lyrics, but the singer, himself, has never been very forthcoming in answering the question, "Where do your ideas come from?" Dylan's response is more often than not a shrug or something smart. Wilents was there in the beginning when Dylan first met the Village vanguard in the early 1960's. He was there for the Carnegie Hall concerts in 1964. He was there for the transitional periods that covered Dylan's move from Folkie to rock star. Wilentz offers, what I see, as the strongest persuasive line of thought as to how that transfiguration began and carried through. On the other side, surely not a negative connotation, is the truth that this is not for the Dylan novice. The reader needs to have a basic fundamental knowledge of Dylan's history and his contribution to music. I found that it helped to have a great many songs at my disposal. Luckily, his material is so accesible that this isn't a hard task; however, one may need to refresh one's memory of "The Basement Tapes". There is no trash tossed nor mud slinged, but it is quite intriguing.
