Bob Dylan once declared I have no respect for factual knowledge. I don’t care what anybody knows. And he has often attempted to confuse and mislead with a stream of misinformation and even downright lies. Yet Dylan’s persistent evasions have only served to enhance his myth and fuel our curiosity. This book sifts the facts, rumor and misinformation to deliver a concise and informative biography of the man and a unique guide to his music, together with insightful reviews of all his albums, details of his movies, bootleg albums, books and more. What’s more this new Fifth edition is bang up to date and includes reviews of his latest album Rough and Rowdy Ways as well as details of his Nobel Award for literature speech.
