Win! ‘Decade Of Dissent: How 1960s Bob Dylan Changed The World’ by Sean Egan
Our latest book giveaway, courtesy of our friends at Jawbone Press, revisits the most radical and transformative decade in the career of one of popular music’s most influential figures
Blowin’ In The Wind, The Times They Are A-Changin’, Like A Rolling Stone, All Along The Watchtower… Dylan’s 1960s catalogue reshaped the cultural and political consciousness of an entire generation. In Decade of Dissent, music journalist Sean Egan offers a vivid portrait of Dylan’s first 10 years as a recording artist – a period in which he evolved from Greenwich Village folkie to electrified icon to country traditionalist, all while leaving an indelible mark on modern music.
FROM PROTEST SONG TO POP REVOLUTION
In the space of a few short years, Dylan turned folk into a mainstream phenomenon, brought literary ambition to rock music, and challenged the conventions of every genre he touched. His output from this period includes landmark albums such as The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde On Blonde, and features a supporting cast that includes The Beatles, The Byrds, and members of The Band.
THE MAN BEHIND THE MYTH
Drawing on exclusive interviews and decades of music writing, Egan explores Dylan’s cultural impact, shifting public persona, and lasting legacy. He charts the arc from hungry young songwriter to reluctant spokesperson for a generation, placing Dylan’s 1960s output in rich social and musical context.
