Bittersweet Love Songs of Bob Dylan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781718128767)

This book brings awareness to the romantic side of Bob Dylan, and the love songs that have been overshadowed by his formidable songs of protest and social commentary. Dylan applies the same intellectual and emotional honesty to songs of the heart as to the rest of his life's work, and his songs about relationships are rendered with typical profundity. The songs in this book are organized into themes such as Hard Love, Bitter Love, Lost Love, and Spiritual Love, to name a few. Like the rest of us, Dylan has soared and crashed, and suffered the pain of ill-fated relationships. These songs reflect his experiences with love and loss over a lifetime, from youth to maturity and beyond. The author describes Dylan's lyrics from a woman's point of view, approaching his words with common sense and a bit of feminine intuition. The reader will benefit from her research into other versions of the songs, and covers by various artists. This book offers a fresh look at the legendary Bob Dylan, who describes the agonies of love with grit and eloquence, as only such a brilliant poet and musical artist can.
