About the Book

De ascendencia judía, a la edad de 6 años Bob Dylan se trasladó con su familia al pueblo minero de Hibbing. A temprana edad comenzó a tocar la guitarra con la cual trataba de emular a sus ídolos Johnnie Ray, Hank Williams, y otras figuras del rock and roll como Little Richard. Empezó a tocar en los clubes de folk de Greenwich Village. Una crítica de The New York Times llamó la atención de John Hammond, de la CBS, que le ofreció un contrato discográfico. Su primer álbum, de 1962, se tituló Bob Dylan e incluía versiones de clásicos de la música popular. Por el contrario, en su siguiente trabajo, Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, presentó trece canciones propias entre las que ya destacaron clásicos como «Blowin#in the Wind», «Don't Think Twice, It's All Right» o «A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall». El resto, hasta la concesión del Premio Nobel de Literatura 2016, ya es historia. Esta edición ampliada de la biografía clásica y definitiva de Howard Sounes incluye ahora un nuevo y último capítulo que completa la trayectoria vital de Dylan hasta su octava década. Publicado por vez primera en 2001 y ya entonces saludado por la crítica, el libro ofrece un retrato completo tanto del hombre como del artista. El proceso de documentación se alargó durante tres años e incluyó más de 250 entrevistas con la gente más cercana a Dylan. Reseñas: «Un libro imprescindible para entender el talento de uno de los artistas más significativos de nuestra época. Una biografía que muestra las caras ocultas de Dylan, desmonta tópicos y retrata con precisión la figura de una leyenda de la música norteamericana.» The New York Times «Convence, sin lugar a dudas. Una biografía capaz de generar simpatías hacia el gran ermitaño de los artistas.» Washington Post Book World «Una valiosísima aportación a la Dylanología.» The New York Times Book Review ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Featuring a wealth of new information, Down the Highway is likely to be hailed as the definitive biography of Bob Dylan. Acclaimed biographer Howard Sounes has spent three years researching the book and has interviewed more than 250 people important in Dylan's life -- many of whom have never before given interviews -- and sifted through documentary evidence unavailable to previous biographers. With this unprecedented access, Sounes dispels many myths, reveals major discoveries, and uncovers the secret life of the mysterious singer, while giving a full appreciation of Dylan's artistic achievements and significance to American culture. Sounes's prodigious research has led to many significant revelations about every aspect of Dylan's life. For years there has been speculation about Dylan's marital life and children, and Sounes has uncovered the complete, fascinating story of his family life, which will completely change the public's perception of the singer. Sounes has interviewed a key witness to Dylan's 1966 motorcycle accident, a turning point in his career. The witness has never before spoken publicly, and Sounes provides the clearest picture yet of the accident and the subsequent "lost years" in Woodstock, New York. He also gives inside accounts of the important recording sessions and concert tours, the creation of every album and the most celebrated songs, Dylan's labyrinthine love life, his heart illness in 1997, and much more. These inside accounts come directly from Sounes's extensive interviews of girlfriends, family members, former personal assistants, fellow music stars and friends, members of touring and session bands, producers, club owners and concert promoters, and many others. Candid and refreshing, Down the Highway is also a sincere appreciation of Dylan's seminal place in postwar American cultural history and an essential book for the millions of people who have enjoyed Dylan's music over the years.
