Beskrivning

This unique insight into the fascinating world of Bob Dylan and New York focuses on the enduring interrelationship of City and Artist. Bob Dylan in the Big Apple will take you on a journey that Dylan took through the streets of New York, looking at the locations, including the less trodden Dylan trails, the characters he befriended as well as revealing stories that formed the backdrop to his life and work. We follow in his early footsteps into the Cafe Wha? as well as, more recently, the Beacon Theatre. Along the way we take in fighting on Elizabeth Street, the 'crummy' hotel, the tavern 'on the corner of Armageddon Street' and the Tuscarora Indian Reservation and more. We also take the Rolling Tyre Walk as well as the Talkin' Washington Park Square picnic. Definitely one for your list of walks! This colourful book with maps and illustrations and wonderful stories will be a must for any Dylan enthusiast.

Recensioner i media

'There is something magical about walking in the footsteps of our musical heroes. Whether it's the Beatles in Liverpool, Leonard Cohen in Hydra or Bob Dylan in New York City, these pilgrimages can be vastly more rewarding than any planned vacation. Refreshingly non-academic, this book begins and ends at the Beacon Theatre, where Dylanophiles from around the world converge for a glimpse of the enigma that is Bob Dylan. This is your travel guide through time and space to the favorite haunts of the most celebrated folkie on planet earth.' Kevin Odegard, musician, 'Blood on The Tracks'
