About this title: The late Robert Shelton was a music critic for the New York Times for 10 years, during which, among many other timely discoveries of major talents, he reported on the rise to prominence of a young Midwestern singer named Bob Dylan.

"I think this was my favourite read this year so far. The Greenwich Village time period makes the book. Shelton wrote the review that got Dylan "discovered" and had access to the artist that few had after he was burnt by the media of the time. The inside look at where Dylan was at during the recording of the various albums, along with the review ( in some cases song by song ) of the albums in question make the book a very real delight for any Dylan fan. Also an interesting insight for anyone interested in the Village folk revival of the early sixties."
"After reading White Biclycles and Chronicals I wanted to read some more on Dylan. I realized about half way through that I needed to know MUCH more about his actual music then I know to really get the most out of this book. Shelton goes through every album in detail as well as what was going on in his life. I may try again after I go out and listen to more of his records."
"Shelton apparently spent 20 years writing this book, and it shows both in the thick mass of detail and the occasional feel of overkill. Lots of "I was there" moments from the man who wrote the breakout review in The New York Times of The Bard's early performances in Greenwich Village."
