Description

Enjoy a three book bundle featuring two of America's greatest musicians to add to your library:


1. Tarantula, by Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's only fictional book, Tarantula was written in 1966 during the creative peak that produced Blonde on Blonde. Reminiscent of Dylan's best songs, it is essential reading for anyone interested in his creative processes. 


2. Bruce - Peter Ames Carlin's New York Times Bestselling biography of one of America's greatest musicians is the first in twenty-five yeras to be written iwth the cooperation of Bruce Springsteen himself. With unfettered access to the artist, his family, and band members - including Clarence Clemons in his last major interview - acclaimed music writer Peter Ames Carlin presents a startlingly intimate and visit portrait of a rock icon. 


3. Time Out of Mind - the Lives of Bob Dylan, by Ian Bell - By the middle of the 1970s, Bob Dylan’s position as the pre-eminent artist of his generation was assured. The 1975 album Blood on the Tracks seemed to prove, finally, that an uncertain age had found its poet.



Then Dylan faltered. His instincts, formerly unerring, deserted him. in the 1980s, what had once appeared unthinkable came to pass: the “voice of a generation” began to sound irrelevant, a tale told to grandchildren.

Yet in the autumn of 1997, something remarkable happened. Having failed to release a single new song in seven long years, Dylan put out the equivalent of two albums in a single package. in the concluding volume of his ground- breaking study, ian Bell explores the unparalleled second act in a quintessentially american career. it is a tale of redemption, of an act of creative will against the odds, and of a writer who refused to fade away.

Time Out of Mind is the story of the latest, perhaps the last, of the many Bob Dylans.
