Krátky popis
The second volume of Clinton Heylin's magisterial biography takes
us from Dylan's 1966 motorcycle accident to the present day. We
meet a man who is determined to confound expectations, yet whatever
he does only seems to confirm his iconic status to fans and critics
alike. There are peaks and troughs.Long periods of writer's block
are followed by sudden bursts of creativity that produce some of
the best work of his career, including perhaps his most celebrated
album, 1975's Blood On The Tracks. There is the unpredictable
recording process, with Dylan often including on his albums the
worst takes and leaving off the best songs altogether. On the
Neverending Tour he reinvents his songbook on a nightly basis, at
times without recognition.Then there are the albums and songs that
reveal the genius of an artist whose lyrics draw on centuries of
American culture but who refuses to be shackled to his own past.
Today his voice is almost unrecognisable from his 1960s peak, and
the man whose songs had been devoted to dissecting his romantic
relationships has become focused on mortality, solitude and getting
old. Yet his albums continue to top the charts, 2020's Rough And
Rowdy Ways being his fourth No.1 album of the twenty-first century.
There is no other living artist whose creative output has remained
constantly intriguing, often baffling, sometimes infuriating but
always fascinating for over sixty years. Clinton Heylin's
definitive, scrupulously researched and revelatory life, based on
unprecedented access to the official Tulsa archive and other new
sources, paints the fullest and brightest portrait yet of an iconic
figure that has defined contemporary culture.
