Bob Dylan

A collection of 30 classic American songs, freshly interpreted and recorded by Bob Dylan and his touring band.

Winning director Murrary Lerner captures Dylan's metamorphosis from folk prodigy to rock's fiercely confrontational poet who would electrify and inspire an entire nation and become the voice of his generation.

Not a man generally considered an orator or a raconteur, Bob Dylan more usually lets his music and lyrics do the talking. And -- apart from a period early in his career when he adopted a rather facetious and cheeky persona, funny at the time but wisely dropped by his mid-20s -- he might be considered a bit of a recluse when it comes to speaking in public or to the media. The contents of this fascinating DVD therefore may well come as a pleasant surprise...

"Rendered in striking, explosive graphic form, many of Bob Dylan's most famous songs illustrated as they've never been before. Mesmerized by the power of his lyrics and intrigued by the possibilities of translating his powerful, enigmatic personality into art, thirteen leading graphic artists banded together to create this unusual testament to the universality and transcendent vision of an American musical genius"--Provided by publisher.

Retreating to the past, recording a largely quiet, acoustic-based album, Bob Dylan offers the sound of an artist returning to his strengths.
