Dylan: Disc by Disc

Listen to every side: "Gorgeously rendered. . . . a unique spin on the discography." —Booklist

Covering each of Bob Dylan's thirty-six studio LPs, this book brings rock 'n' roll musicians, songwriters, and critics together to sound off about each release, discussing and debating not only Dylan's extraordinary musical accomplishments but the factors in his life that influenced his musical expressions. Beautifully illustrated with LP art and period photography, as well as performance and candid backstage images, the book also contains liner notes-like details about the recordings and session musicians, and provides context and perspective on Dylan's career—in a one-of-a-kind retrospective of the life and music of an American legend.

Commentators include Questlove of the Roots and the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Rodney Crowell, Jason Isbell, Suzanne Vega, Ric Ocasek of the Cars, Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding), longtime Dylan pal Eric Andersen and Minnesota musicians Tony Glover and Kevin Odegard, both of whom have been in the studio with Dylan. Other well-known voices in Dylan: Disc by Disc include Robert Christgau, Anthony DeCurtis, Alan Light, Joe Levy, Holly George-Warren, Joel Selvin, Jim Fusilli, Geoffrey Himes, Charles R. Cross, and David Browne, among others.
