More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Bob Dylan is the most influential songwriter of our time. His lyrics have inspired more than one generation to challenge received social and spiritual concepts about the world they inhabit. It is in this context that John Burns examines Dylan's 'big' lyrics, the 'vision songs' that have changed the way we see our world. Considering all Dylan's major albums from the 'sixties to the present, Burns looks at the ideas, philosophical, spiritual and musical, that influenced his vision and how he transmutes these into great literary and performance art. The book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the work of one of the greatest visionary artists of our era.
