Summary:
"Acclaimed cultural critic Greil Marcus tells the story of
Bob
Dylan
through the lens of
seven
penetrating
songs
. 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
Folk
Music
, 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. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of
Bob
Dylan
, but a rich history of American
folk
songs
and the new life they were given as
Dylan
sat down to write his own."--Publisher.
