Behind the Shades: The 20th Anniversary Edition

Description

In virtually all areas of Dylan's life - Heylin is able to provide a fascinating picture of a man who, over thirty years, has changed the course of popular music from the 1960s to today, and also won three Grammy awards. Heylin has given full weight to Dylan's own words and those of his closest associates, with over 250 people quoted in the book, helping to provide a portrait of a complex figure. Including 60,000 words of brand new material - dealing with Dylan's four twenty-first century albums; his archival audio-visual projects; his third film; his series of paintings and exhibitions; his autobiography, Chronicles; and his ongoing romantic liaisons and 'missing' marriages - this fully updated story of Dylan provides a monumental overview of the Man and his Music.

Clinton Heylin is recognised all over the world as a leading authority on Bob Dylan. His other books include The Great White Wonders (an in-depth history of bootlegging) and No More Sad Refrains (a biography of Sandy Denny). Brought up in Manchester, he now lives in Somerset.
