Dylan's book: Chronicles Volume One

Just finished this book (2004) and I loved it. I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan and it was a wonderful treat to read 293 pages of his prose in his very recognizable, brittle, gruff and literary voice. If you liked the movie Complete Unknown, this pulls back the curtains on what was going through his mind during that period, and so much more.  His Minesota upbringing, his travels before coming to NYC, his family (briefly), his musical influences (Woody Guthrie!!) and so much more. He mentions dozens of musicians he listened to and played with in NYC before he hit it big. He met John Wayne, and fell for Suze Rotolo the same way he fell for Woody Guthrie. Instantly and profoundly. It ends just before he becomes a superstar. What a story.

I can't recommend this book highly enough - if you're a big Dylan fan. Anyone else read and enjoy it? 

Yes, a lot, amazingly long ago.  Thx for reminder.

Latey, I've been listening on Spotify, to "More Blood, More Tracks: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 14 (Sampler)," basically an acoustic, guitar-only, rendition of all the songs on "Blood On the Tracks". Very interesting.
