About the author

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman) is an American singer-songwriter, author, musician, poet, and, of late, disc jockey who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan's most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. A number of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His most recent studio album, Modern Times, released on August 29, 2006, entered the U.S. album charts at #1, making him, at age sixty five, the oldest living person to top those charts.

Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature (2016).

Reviews

[Andy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good book for Dylanheads including lyrics and guitar chords for 63 songs, most of the ones you'd expect ("Like a Rolling Stone," "Blowin' in the Wind," "The Times They Are A Changin'") and some you might not, but are glad they're there ("Every Grain of Sand," "Visions of Johanna," "Things Have Changed").

Great improvements could be made with a larger book (currently the size of a mass market paperback) that's spiral bound. Still a nice book to have.
