Dylan biography - any recommendations?
Posted by: Robert Derwae on 04 June 2002
I'm interested in reading about Bob Dylan and I need advice. What is (are) the best book(s) about Dylan? For what it's worth, I value good, compelling writing above exhaustiveness.
As far as I can tell from doing some research on Amazon, the candidates are:
1. No Direction Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan, by Shelton.
2. Positively 4th Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Farina, and Richard Farina, by Hajdu.
3. Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades, by Heylin.
4. Bob Dylan Performing Artist 1960-1973: The Early Years, by Williams.
Any Dylan fans here who can give me a shove in the right direction?
