    WHERE DYLAN WENT WITH THIS ALBUM NO ONE HAD EVER GONE THIS FAR BEFORE.
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018*

"I know my thing now.  I know what it is.  It's hard to describe.  I don't know what to call it because I've never heard it."  Bob Dylan trying to describe his new music in '65."I didn't know if it was ever gonna be special.  Just making electric folk music wasn't enough, it needed to be much more violent than that, and I didn't know whether he would ever get it."  Robbie Robertson talking about Dylan after he went electric."But the fact that Dylan came here, I think it sent a message around the folk-rock world that, 'Hey, it's OK to go there.  These guys can do this"  Charlie McCoy on Nashville musicians after "Blonde On Blonde".For Bob-o-philes and/or fans of the "Blonde On Blonde" album, this is a deep look into both the period just leading up to that album and the songs themselves, recorded mostly in Nashville.  There's a prologue that lays out what the book covers, chapters in three parts ("New York City", "Nashville",  "Los Angeles and Beyond")  laid out in  chronological order beginning in  1965, a list of sources, and a section of notes, and an index.  There's also 16 pages of period b&w photos from Dylan in '65, early photos of The Hawks,  individual photos of the Nashville session musicians, a couple of pages of Dylan's Nashville sessions manuscripts, and a few others interesting photos from that era.This is a book for those who want to delve pretty deeply into the sessions for "Blonde On Blonde".  At times you almost get the feel that you're privy to a lot of  inside information for the sessions because of the author's research and interviews with so many of  the people involved with the album.  From a number of the session musicians, to the producers, to studio personnel, and others close to what was happening,  the author, Daryl Sanders,  has really done his homework when it comes to unearthing and laying out in a coherent way the information surrounding this album.  He has also included information from the "Biograph" album notes, Dylan's book "Chronicles", "Rolling Stone" magazine, Heylin's books "Judas", and "Bob Dylan: Behind The Shades Revisited", and other print sources.  Together Sanders has compiled the most in depth look into the making of this album.This isn't a book for the more casual Dylan fan--there's a lot of minutia about the various songs and what went down in the studio during the recording sessions.  But for those (like me) who feel that this album is one of the best albums of that entire era (and still stands up today) and want to get closer to what went on, this is a deep ride into the making of those songs.From the period of the "Highway 61 Revisited" album which he had finished, to Dylan trying to figure out how to take his new electric sound on the road, to recording most of the songs that would ultimately end up on the album, to the impact the album had on music after it's release, this book covers just about everything you'd want to know about how this album came to fruition.

    Come Sit for a Spell in Studio A with Bob and the Nashville Cats
  

*by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018*

Legendary rock scribe Dave Marsh asked author Daryl Sanders: “is this book about Dylan in Nashville? Or is about Nashville and Dylan?” Sanders replied “yes.” ;-)Sanders has written a meticulously researched and well-paced chronicle of the making of rock & roll’s most important album Blonde on Blonde. This album is the reason that Bob Dylan’s biggest competition is always earlier Bob Dylan.The book puts you in the studio with the poet and the pickers who created something entirely new to popular music - great take-by-take insight, balanced with insights into Dylan’s inspiration, from the Bible to Persian poet Omar Khayyam to T.S. Eliot.The author also puts the sessions and the album into their musical and historical context - it was a time when the biggest musicians of the time (Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Joan Baez) connected and shared and grew together.A great read for Dylan fans, rock lovers, liner-note geeks, and folks who want to understand what makes Nashville *Music* City.

    Sit in, Hold on, and Watch Music History Unfold
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2018*

My love for music tends to stem from the feelings invoked, memories recalled, or the heart-throb quotient of the performer. After reading this book, I’m now enthralled with the process that creates that feeling-inducing, memory-arousing music.Daryl Sanders’ exhaustive research, personal interviews, and practiced journalistic skill bring the 1966 Nashville recording studio alive. His exquisite attention to detail placed me in the middle of those sessions. I watched Dylan’s genius labor over each word and heard the young musicians intuitively transform the sounds inside Dylan’s head into musical perfection – crafting legendary art seemingly on the fly.I’m not even that much of a Bob Dylan fan, but, when I finished the book, I immediately downloaded a few Blonde on Blonde songs. Having witnessed their intimate creation, I listened with a new ear.
