Author
Marcus, Greil

Across 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.

In Folk Music, Greil Marcus tells Dylanā€™s story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcusā€™s point of departure is Dylanā€™s ability to ā€œsee myself in others.ā€ Like Dylanā€™s songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylanā€™s continuing presence and relevance through his empathyā€”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.
