Bob Dylan-All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track
“This tome is work of art and a labor of love . . . : A Dylan fan could live inside this book for weeks. Hard-core enthusiasts will be enthralled.” —Library Journal

The most comprehensive account of Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize-winning work yet published, with the full story of every recording session, every album, and every single released during his nearly sixty-year career.

Organized chronologically by album, Margotin and Guesdon detail the origins of his melodies and lyrics, his process in the recording studio, the instruments he used, and the contribution of a myriad of musicians and producers to his canon.

“Meticulously researched” —Buzzfeed

“Hardcore aficionados from the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol will be thrilled with its scope and intricacy.” —Miami Herald
