"Bob Dylan has created a body of work unparalleled in popular music. As a songwriter and as a singer, Dylan expanded the boundaries for song. In The Bob Dylan Albums Anthony Varesi analyzes the Dylan canon through a detailed discussion of the artist's records.

The book follows Dylan's career from 1962's Bob Dylan to 2001's Love and Theft, with all the fascinating turns in between: the startling originality of Dylan's early works; the revolutionary rock and roll of the mid-1960s; the stately rootsy music of the late 1960s; the contemplative works of the 1970s; the gospel phase of Dylan's middle years; the return to traditional folk and blues in the 1990s.

In the process Varesi unearths new meaning in both Dylan's most famous works and in songs that have received less attention."--BOOK JACKET.
