Product Description
This breakthrough series looks at great music from a unique vantage point. By considering the recording session itself, rather than the final album, Legendary Sessions showcases the creative process and all the elements that go into making music that reflected its time, commented on our society, and influenced our culture.

How did these epoch-making sessions come about? What influenced the artists? What was it like to be there as the recording was made? Written by top entertainment journalists, Legendary Sessions answers those questions with an involving you-are-there style. What impact did the recording have? Who listened to it? Who imitated it? Who was inspired by it? Legendary Sessions looks at those questions, too, with groundbreaking interviews, eyewitness accounts, and contemporary commentary.

Innovative and intriguing, Legendary Sessions is sure to change the way music fans listen to the great recordings of our time.

In the midst of the backlash following his electric performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, Bob Dylan was in the studio with a shifting group of session musicians and producer Bob Johnston. The result of these sessions would be Dylan’s sixth album, Highway 61 Revisited, the classic that featured "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Desolation Row." Author Colin Irwin examines the events leading up to the sessions and how they influenced Dylan’s music; the details of the sessions and the musicians involved, the development of the songs, and the controversy surrounding Dylan’s new sound. Today it’s part of rock history. Relive those world-changing times in Legendary Sessions: Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited.

If you have read dozens of the books written about Dylan, or none at all for that matter, this is the one book you need to read.

I thought it was a great review of what happened as young Bob Dylan made his Highway 61 album. He was still so young and flying by the seat of his pants. It has the best background and explanation of the Newport Folk Festival that I have ever read and I've read a lot. The descriptions of the studio happenings and interaction with the musicians, as the album was made, with a description of what happened as each song on the album was recorded. Great book with some more inside information about what makes Dylan tick.

This book provides the details and insight into the times and making of this landmark album. It's excactly the kind of information that can satisfy the seemingly insatiable thirst for anything Dylan. Really freakin' great. I loved it.

THIS IS THE 1ST DYLAN BOOK I'VE PURCHASED IN SEVERAL YEARS. WHAT CAN ANYONE TELL ME I DON'T ALREADY KNOW. WELL, SOMEONE HAS. IRWINS' INSIGHTS INTO THE POSSIBLE SOURCE OF DYLANS' LYRICS ARE INCREDIBLE. A WELL WRITTEN INFORMATIVE PIECE OF WORK. I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN DYLAN, OR FOR THAT MATTER, THE HISTORY OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK TO READ THIS BOOK.


3 out of 5 stars Material is better than the writing   April 23, 2008

This book covers the making of Dylan's greatest album, and sheds an interesting light on the highly unorthodox way it was made. Comments from band members are included. Unfortunately, the writing doesn't measure up the content, and some of it is a slog to get through. Still interesting for the Dylan fan.
