No one alive knows the music that fueled Dylan's imagination better. . . . Folk Music . . . [is an] ingenious book of close listening.\"--David Remnick, New Yorker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNamed a Best Music Book of 2022 by Rolling Stone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Further elevates Marcus to what he has always been: a supreme artist-critic.\"--Hilton Als\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song. As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Folk Music , Greil Marcus tells Dylan's story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus's point of departure is Dylan's ability to \"see myself in others.\" Like Dylan's songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan's continuing presence and relevance through his empathy--his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT-BOOK","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54000115220848,"sku":"978-0300274103","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":54000115253616,"sku":"978-0300274103","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/8543\/8576\/files\/ebook_1053_fa5882d9fa.jpg?v=1783518633","url":"https:\/\/antbook.store\/products\/folk-music-a-bob-dylan-biography-in-seven-songs","provider":"ANTBOOK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
