This is the second volume in Clinton Heylin''s magisterial survey of the songs of Bob Dylan. The first volume - Revolution in the Air which is now available in paperback - charted the rise of Bob Dylan from his first jottings to the full expression of genius in songs such as ''Hard Rain Gonna Fall'' and ''The Times They Are a Changin''''.

Still on the Road begins in 1974 with "Blood on the Tracks", the album filled with masterworks such as ''Tangled Up in Blue'' and ''Simple Twist of Fate'' that heralded a watershed in Dylan''s creative journey, and continues to chart his never-ending fascination with music and the art of song up to 2006''s "Modern Times".
