Kurzbeschreibung
This breakthrough series looks at great music from a unique vantage point. By considering the recording session itself, rather than the final album, Legendary Sessions showcases the creative process and all the elements that go into making music that reflected its time, commented on our society, and influenced our culture.
How did these epoch-making sessions come about? What influenced the artists? What was it like to be there as the recording was made? Written by top entertainment journalists, Legendary Sessions answers those questions with an involving you-are-there style. What impact did the recording have? Who listened to it? Who imitated it? Who was inspired by it? Legendary Sessions looks at those questions, too, with groundbreaking interviews, eyewitness accounts, and contemporary commentary.
Innovative and intriguing, Legendary Sessions is sure to change the way music fans listen to the great recordings of our time.
In the midst of the backlash following his electric performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, Bob Dylan was in the studio with a shifting group of session musicians and producer Bob Johnston. The result of these sessions would be Dylan’s sixth album, Highway 61 Revisited, the classic that featured “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Desolation Row.” Author Colin Irwin examines the events leading up to the sessions and how they influenced Dylan’s music; the details of the sessions and the musicians involved, the development of the songs, and the controversy surrounding Dylan’s new sound. Today it’s part of rock history. Relive those world-changing times in Legendary Sessions: Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited.

WHAT A PAGE TURNER!
31. März 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is a must buy for dedicated Dylan fans written by a veteran writer and editor. It is an account of the sessions that produced "Highway 61 Revisted" plus a VERY good weave of related happenings, people and other vital information that all fits in very very well. This book was a page turner, and I couldn't set it down. The book is very well written and will not disappoint even the intellectuals out there. There are very good choice descriptive words and good vocabulary all in all. There are only a sprinkling of photos, among them a stunning Dan Kramer light & shade photo of Bob that highlights the top gentle curvature of his nose and high cheekbone. This photograph makes Bob look like a ancient Roman statue except for the comical part--the cigarette stuck on the side of the harmonica.
To make this book complete, I recommend the DVD "The Other Side of the Mirror" and the Bootleg Series #7 in which are some of versions of the songs described in this book, along with, of course, the CD "Highway 61 Revisited."
Just a couple of editing misses, but Great Writing and Very Well Done!!

Reviewing Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisitited
28. Januar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I thought it was a great review of what happened as young Bob Dylan made his Highway 61 album. He was still so young and flying by the seat of his pants. It has the best background and explanation of the Newport Folk Festival that I have ever read and I've read a lot. The descriptions of the studio happenings and interaction with the musicians, as the album was made, with a description of what happened as each song on the album was recorded. Great book with some more inside information about what makes Dylan tick.

Material is better than the writing
23. April 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book covers the making of Dylan's greatest album, and sheds an interesting light on the highly unorthodox way it was made. Comments from band members are included. Unfortunately, the writing doesn't measure up the content, and some of it is a slog to get through. Still interesting for the Dylan fan.
