Like A Rolling Stone -- Bob Dylan At The Crossroads (paperback)

$4.99 ... Book Book List Price: 14.00

Greil Marcus goes long and deep with Dylan once again, here crafting, essentially, the biography of one song -- the ultra iconic "Like A Rolling Stone" -- a song that was revolutionary unto itself, but was served as a chronicle of the revolution of the world around it, and its writer! "Like A Rolling Stone" was the culmination of the disparate influences that informed its creation, from the cultural and political strife of the world of the early 60s, to the deep musical miasma floating in the ether around Bob Dylan, that the Bard managed to pluck and put down on wax, with the incredible help of his ace session players, of course. Marcus writes of the things that impacted the song, and the song's impact on the musical history to come, as only he could. Paperback, 304 pages. (Please note: These copies have a very small remainder mark on the spine.)  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
