Review
"A book that allows us to understand exactly why Bob Dylan is so celebrated . . . Riley ponders the lyrics, arrangements, and delivery of Dylan's work, from his first album in 1962." --Los Angeles Times
"Finally, in Tim Riley, Dylan has a critic who can at once place him in the Woody Guthrie toubadour tradition and probe the music knowingly." --BookPage "Riley succeeds in making familiar materical seem fresh . . . . He offers many new, thought-provoking interpretations of songs, and his powers of description are potent." --Philadelphia InquirerAbout the Author
Tim Riley is a web producer, campus speaker, and pianist. His music criticism has appeared in the Washington Post, in Boston magazine, and on National Public Radio. He is also a music commentator for NPR's "Here and Now." He lives in Boston.
