Description & Specifications

From the day that Bobby Zimmerman first turned on the radio in his parents’ home in Hibbing, he’d had a pretty good idea that big things were happening, that old values were changing, that something new was on the way. Bob Dylan arrived in New York one winter morning in 1961. His music and spirit would go on to capture the hearts and minds of a generation, but what no one knew then was that, like so many before him, Dylan was concealing his Jewish origins.

For Harry Freedman, Dylan’s roots are the key to understanding how this complete unknown burst onto the scene and reinvented not only himself but popular music. The instinct for escape and reinvention has defined Dylan’s long career. In this insightful biography, Freedman traces the vibrant atmosphere of the 1960s and the folk-rock revolution led by Dylan. Up until the moment in 1966 when Dylan stepped onto the stage and went electric – exploring how his musical choices, genius for reinvention, and his Jewishness are inextricably linked.
