Synopsis
Subtitled : The Songs of Bob Dylan Vol. 2 : 1974-2008.
The second volume of the bestselling history of Bob Dylan's songs.
This is the second volume in Clinton Heylin's magisterial survey of the songs of Bob Dylan. The first volume - Revolution in the Air charted the rise of Bob Dylan from his first jottings to the full expression of genius in songs such as 'Hard Rain Gonna Fall' and 'The Times They Are a Changin''.
This book, "Still on the Road" begins in 1974 with Blood on the Tracks, the album filled with masterworks such as 'Tangled Up in Blue' and 'Simple Twist of Fate' that heralded a watershed in Dylan's creative journey, and continues to chart his never-ending fascination with music and the art of song up to 2006's Modern Times.

External Reviews
"Clinton Heylin, master explicator of the Dylan canon, has however improbably, sorted it all out for us through the tangled '80's and beyond, completing what he started in Revolution in the Air. The book is essential." - Jonathan Lethem.
"Rarely does and author put an artist's creative process under such forensic scrutiny-and stitch his findings together with such success." - Metro Herald, Ireland.
"Highly recommended." - Choice.
'Terrifically interesting for Dylan nuts' - Sunday Herald.
'True to form, Heylin digs deep into the songs, mixing cold hard facts with illuminating anecdotes' - Mark Smith, managing editor, Acoustic Guitar.
'Beg, steal, borrow . . . a compelling history of Dylan's mercurial song writing' - Mojo.
