Sean Wilentz

Bob Dylan in America Sean Wilentz Reprint edition

Sean Wilentz discovered Bob Dylan?s music as a teenager growing up in Greenwich Village. Now, almost half a century later, he revisits Dylan?s work with the skills of an eminent American historian as well as the passion of a fan.
 
Beginning with Dylan?s explosion onto the scene in 1961, Wilentz follows the emerging artist as he develops a body of work unique in America?s cultural history. Using his unprecedented access to studio tapes, recording notes, and rare photographs, he places Dylan?s music in the context of its time and offers a stunning critical appreciation of Dylan both as a songwriter and performer.
