In May 2001 Bob Dylan will be sixty years old. The result is the definitive biography of the man many argue is the singular figure in twentieth-century popular culture.Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisited follows Dylan along one of the most extraordinary and daring paths ever taken by a performing artist: his awkward childhood in Minnesota his arrival in New York and rise as the unwitting leader of a political folk revolution his controversial move toward electric rock the spooky and uniquely American Basement Tapes his forays into country-western music the lost albums of the eighties his paranoia, addiction, and seclusion his reemergence after a near-fatal 1997 heart infection with the triple Grammy Award-winning Time Out of Mind the endless touring life the hundreds of timeless songs that have become a part of American and worldwide consciousnessMost biographies of Bob Dylan are mired in the sixties, but Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisited is the only one that gives equal weight to all the extraordinary phases of Dylan's forty-year career.As ever, Dylan remains an endlessly fascinating, mysterious, and obsessively private man.
