Summary:

Now in small format, here is the first volume of Paul Williams' widely acclaimed writings on the music and performances of Bob Dylan. A thought-provoking, in-depth analysis of Dylan's work on the stage and in the studio, much of which has been groundbreaking and controversial. Williams regards Dylan as one of the century's great artists, comparable to Joyce, Chaplin, and Picasso.
