Folk music :  a Bob Dylan biography in seven songs / 
Greil Marcus. 
 - 288 pages :  illustrations (black and white) ;  22 cm 
<br/><br/> Across seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song. As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen. In this book, Greil Marcus tells Dylan's story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus's point of departure is Dylan's ability to 'see myself in others'. Like Dylan's songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan's continuing presence and relevance through his empathy - his imaginative identification with other people.
