Book Reviews of Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions, 1960-1994
Book Review: How can you do without it?
Summary: 5 Stars
Heylin's study of Dylan's recording sessions starts in 1960 with the period immediately preceding his signing with Columbia and ends in 1993 with World Gone Wrong (clearly an update is needed). Each chapter, starting with a sessionography, is dedicated to one of Dylan's official studio releases. Four chapters cover sessions that did not lead to official releases and one chapter is dedicated to soundtrack and tribute recordings Dylan contributed to. An appendix listing bootlegs that might have been available at the time of the book's release closes the book.
Heylin is wonderfully opinionated and uses each chapter to highlight the merits and flaws of the released and unreleased content of each album. To his credit, and unlike many who write about Dylan, Heylin is not afraid to separate the dross from the gold. He clearly has a problem with the way Dylan's art has been made available to his fans (the book is amusingly "NOT dedicated to Jeff Rosen," the man responsible for overseeing Columbia's vast archives of Dylan's work). Reading the book both provides a glimpse into what Dylan's official oeuvre might have been and serves as a guide for collectors of unofficial recordings in determining what is worth seeking out.
You might not agree with all of Heylin's opinions, but if you're a Dylan fan, this is essential reading.
