Product Description

He was a skinny nineteen-year-old with a battered guitar and a dream of meeting Woody Guthrie. In just a few short years, he took his place alongside his idol as one of the most important musicians of the 20th century. Bob Dylan didn't just transform music--he embodied an era. But unlike other performers who are reluctant to change in case their appeal fades, he has never shied from challenging his fans and himself. BIOGRAPHY® follows the influential singer from his boyhood days in Minnesota to superstardom and beyond in this feature-length special. Rare photos from his arrival in New York City show the boy who would soon become a legend, and period recordings capture the brilliance that set the folk world afire. Fellow musicians Dave Van Ronk and Happy Traum reflect on his shocking electric set at the Newport Folk Festival, the first of his many, highly-publicized re-inventions. And we'll get an up-close look at Dylan today, an aging superstar who remains a musical force, even if his days as a cultural icon are past. This unprecedented BIOGRAPHY® presents a portrait of a man whose life and music have been a weathervane for his times.
