As the boxes started to arrive, the Foundation asked Clinton Heylin - author of the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eBob Dylan: Behind the Shades\u003c\/i\u003e and 'perhaps the world's authority on all things Dylan' (\u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e) - to assess the material they had been given. What he found in Tulsa - as well as what he gleaned from other papers he had recently been given access to by Sony and the Dylan office - so changed his understanding of the artist, especially of his creative process, that he became convinced that a whole new biography was needed. It turns out that much of what previous biographers - Dylan himself included - have said is wrong; often as not, a case of, Print the Legend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith fresh and revealing information on every page \u003ci\u003eA Restless, Hungry Feeling\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of Dylan's meteoric rise to fame: his arrival in early 1961 in New York, where he is embraced by the folk scene; his elevation to spokesman of a generation whose protest songs provide the soundtrack for the burgeoning Civil Rights movement; his alleged betrayal when he 'goes electric' at Newport in 1965; his subsequent controversial world tour with a rock 'n' roll band; and the recording of his three undisputed electric masterpieces: \u003ci\u003eBringing it All Back Home\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHighway 61 Revisited\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlonde on Blonde\u003c\/i\u003e. At the peak of his fame in July 1966 he reportedly crashes his motorbike in Woodstock, upstate New York, and disappears from public view. When he re-emerges, he looks different, his voice sounds different, his songs are different. That other story will be told in Volume 2, to be published in autumn 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClinton Heylin's meticulously researched, all-encompassing and consistently revelatory account of these fascinating early years is the closest we will ever get to a definitive life of an artist who has been the lodestar of popular culture for six decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51739322188049,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51739322253585,"sku":"GOR011553598","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51860373864721,"sku":"GOR011376797","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781847925886.jpg?v=1750798083","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/double-life-of-bob-dylan-vol-1-book-clinton-heylin-9781847925886","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
