As the boxes started to arrive, the Foundation asked Clinton Heylin--author of the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eBob Dylan: Behind the Shades\u003c\/i\u003e and 'perhaps the world's authority on all things Dylan' (\u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e)--to assess the material they had been given. What he found in Tulsa--as well as what he gleaned from other papers he had recently been given access to by Sony and the Dylan office--so changed his understanding of the artist, especially of his creative process, that he became convinced that a whole new biography was needed. It turns out that much of what previous biographers--Dylan himself included--have said is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith fresh and revealing information on every page \u003ci\u003eA Restless, Hungry Feeling \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of Dylan's meteoric rise to fame: his arrival in early 1961 in New York, where he is embraced by the folk scene; his elevation to spokesman of a generation whose protest songs provide the soundtrack for the burgeoning Civil Rights movement; his alleged betrayal when he 'goes electric' at Newport in 1965; his subsequent controversial world tour with a rock 'n' roll band; and the recording of his three undisputed electric masterpieces: \u003ci\u003eBringing it All Back Home\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHighway 61 Revisited \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBlonde on Blonde\u003c\/i\u003e. At the peak of his fame in July 1966 he reportedly crashes his motorbike in Woodstock, upstate New York, and disappears from public view. When he re-emerges, he looks different, his voice sounds different, his songs are different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClinton Heylin's meticulously researched, all-encompassing and consistently revelatory account of these fascinating early years is the closest we will ever get to a definitive life of an artist who has been the lodestar of popular culture for six decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clinton Heylin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316535222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316535229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.60d","brand":"Clinton Heylin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047682797823,"sku":"9780316535229","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dac9786c-6bc1-4e9b-9285-5a7ce83493a2.jpg?v=1684991617","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-double-life-of-bob-clinton-heylin-9780316535229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
