Highway 61 Revisited

Mark Polizzotti

3.80/5 (572 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

"In this book, Mark Polizzotti examines just what makes the songs on
Highway 61 Revisited so affecting, how they work together as a suite,
and how lyrics, melody, and arrangements combine to create an unusually potent mix. He blends musical and literary analysis of the songs themselves, biography (where appropriate) and recording information (where helpful). And he focuses on Dylan's mythic presence in the mid-60s, when he emerged from his proletarian incarnation to become the American Rimbaud. The comparison has been made by others, including Dylan, and it illuminates much about his mid-sixties career, for in many respects Highway 61 is rock 'n' roll's answer to "A Season in Hell."
