Reviews for Still on the Road: The Songs of Bob Dylan Vol. 2 1974-2008
Clinton Heylin, master explicator of the Dylan canon, has however improbably, sorted it all out for us through the tangled '80's and beyond, completing what he started in Revolution in the Air. The book is essential.
Jonathan Lethem Rarely does and author put an artist's creative process under such forensic scrutiny-and stitch his findings together with such success
