<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>By far the most comprehensive book on Bob Dylan's words ever written, including a number of songs that no one has ever heard, this first volume will fundamentally change how his lyrics are interpreted and understood. Arranged in a surprising chronology of when they were actually written rather than when they appeared on albums--the middle verse of "Blowin' in the Wind" was written much later than the first and third verses, and the songs on <i>John Wesley Harding </i>were written prior to some of the songs on <i>The Basement Tapes</i>--hundreds of surprising facts are uncovered in this catalog of 300 songs, spanning his career prior to <i>Blood on the Tracks</i>. Newly discovered manuscripts, anecdotal evidence, and a seemingly limitless knowledge of every Dylan live performance contribute to this definitive resource of the words of a celebrated American singer-songwriter.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A must for any serious Dylan freak. --<i>Relix</i><br><br>An authoritative history of the singer-songwriter's canon. . . . Sprinkled with Dylan quotes, the entries are thorough, informative, and engaging. Taken together, they provide a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of this enigmatic genius of American song. --<i>Choice</i><br><br>An excellent supplement to a good Dylan biography. --<i>Arkansas</i><i> Democrat-Gazette</i><br><br>Clinton Heylin [is] the Dylanologist actually worth reading. --<i>The New York Times</i><br><br>In <i>Revolution in the Air</i> Clinton Heylin has pored over Bob Dylan's songs--all of them--and has drawn conclusions, not on a wall, but in the first of a two-part magnum opus that anyone curious about, fascinated by, and devoted to His Master's Voice will want to read and ponder. --Jonathan Cott, author of <i>Dylan</i> and editor of <i>Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews</i><br><br>Indispensable. . . . Encyclopedic. . . . Fascinating. . . . Hypnotic. . . . Highly recommended. --<i>Library Journal</i><br><br>One of the most important volumes in the already-groaning Bookshelf of Bob. --<i>Houston</i><i> Press</i><br><br>True to form, Heylin digs deep--way deep--into the songs, mixing cold hard facts with illuminating anecdotes. --<i>Acoustic Guitar</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Clinton Heylin</b></b> is the author of <i>Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades</i>, <i>Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions</i>, <i>From the Velvets to the Voidoids: The Birth of American Punk</i>, <i> Still on the Road</i>, <i> </i>and several other books.
