Clinton Heylin is the world's leading Dylan biographer and expert, and he has arranged the songs--including a number that have never been performed--in a continually surprising chronology of when they were actually written rather than when they appeared on albums. Using newly discovered manuscripts, anecdotal evidence, and a seemingly limitless knowledge of every Bob Dylan live performance, he has uncovered a wealth of information about the songs, leaving no stone unturned in his research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here we learn that the middle verse of \"Blowin' in the Wind\" was written much later than the first and third verses; that \"The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll\" was based on a complete distortion of the facts of the case; that \"Mixed Up Confusion,\" despite being Dylan's first single, was composed later than many of his early masterpieces; that \"Fourth Time Around\" was a direct response to John Lennon's \"Norwegian Wood\"; and much more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading this volume will fundamentally change how you hear Dylan's songs and will make you want to revisit the man's lesser-known masterpieces.
