Bob Dylan has created a body of work unparalleled in popular music. As a songwriter and as a singer, Dylan expanded the boundaries for song. In this substantially revised and updated second edition of The Bob Dylan Albums, Anthony Varesi analyzes the massive Dylan canon through a detailed discussion of each of the artistâs officially released albums. The book follows Dylanâs career chronologically from 1962âs Bob Dylan through to 2021âs Bootleg Series release Springtime in New York. All of Dylanâs studio albums, live albums, collections and archival releases are examined in the text and in the detailed, annotated, cross-referenced discography, as are Dylanâs notable soundtrack contributions, side projects and benefit concert appearances. The Bob Dylan Albums, 2nd Edition also discusses Dylanâs other writings, such as Chronicles and his Nobel Prize lecture, and reviews the films Dylan has appeared in or been the subject of. The book contains frank analyses of the more controversial aspects of Dylanâs career, including songs Dylan wrote about George Jackson, Rubin âHurricaneâ Carter, Joey Gallo and Lenny Bruce, the use of Dylanâs music in advertisements, and Dylanâs 2011 trip to China. The book looks at recurring themes in Dylanâs songs, the influence of other artists on Dylanâs music, and the ongoing relevance of Dylanâs work. In the process, The Bob Dylan Albums, 2nd Edition unearths new meaning in both Dylanâs most famous works and in his songs and albums that have received less attention..
