It was the shot heard round the world—Dylan’s declaration of musical independence, the end of the folk revival, and the birth of rock as the voice of a generation—and one of the defining moments in twentieth-century music.In Dylan Goes Electric!, Elijah Wald explores the cultural, political and historical context of this seminal event that embodies the transformative decade that was the sixties. Wald delves deep into the folk revival, the rise of rock, and the tensions between traditional and groundbreaking music to provide new insights into Dylan’s artistic evolution, his special affinity to blues, his complex relationship to the folk establishment and his sometime mentor Pete Seeger, and the ways he reshaped popular music forever. Breaking new ground on a story we think we know, Dylan Goes Electric! is a thoughtful, sharp appraisal of the controversial event at Newport and a nuanced, provocative, analysis of why it matters.. One of the music world’s pre-eminent critics takes a fresh and much-needed look at the day Dylan “went electric” at the Newpor
Great book. While I think the success of "Like a Rolling Stone" is as much - if not more - of a 60s turning point, no doubt Dylan going electric at Newport '65 is a pivotal moment in music history. The book give you the terrain of the folk scene, Bob's time in the village, the growth of Newport, the development o. "Newport focus is most welcome" according to Jake. There is a lot of this book that sets us up for Newport. I get that and it is done well, but it has a lot ofinformation that a Dylan fan and a 60's survivor already knows. The best part of the book is when it zones in on Newport, the history, the growth of the festival, the shows each year leading up . Amazon Customer said This author really knows his stuff! A real musicologist.. A bit long, but very well-observed bio of Dylan and the whole folk/blues scene of the '60's that I grew up with in New York City. Lots of memories for me, and great background info on so many of the artists who were on the scene at this important time.
