Synopsis

Rock iconoclast, street poet, social critic, pop icon - Bob Dylan's enduring influence on American culture and music is unrivalled. In Hard Rain, Tim Riley provides for the first time an album-by-album commentary on one of the most influential figures in American popular music and a chronicle of his journey from little known folk musician to rock legend.

Through careful analysis of Dylan's music and performances, Tim Riley gives an in-depth portrait of Dylan's ever-changing persona - his relationship with his songs, players, critics, audience and, ultimately, himself.

Essential reading both for Dylan fans and for anyone interested in American popular culture, Hard Rain casts a critical eye on Bob Dylan's whole career and in the process shows how the singer/songwriter has stretched the boundaries of the music industry and informed America's consciousness for more than 30 years.
