Bob Dylan In America by Sean WilentzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Finally - I found an audiobook on a musical artist with integrated, relevant music excerpts! Much for the dedicated Dylan fan, these music interludes include bootlegs. I mostly like the historical aspects here, like Aaron Copland's socialist leanings being a catalyst to the folk movement and the forensic details of the late 19th Century crimes that came down to us as "Delia", "Frankie and Johnny", etc.. There is a lot of deep detail here, like recording session details down to individual, incomplete takes. Still taking it at a higher level, Wilentz as one-time historian in the official Dylan Web presence has a lot of privy information and a lot of insight, sussing out details from Dylan's reading and quotes.
