El primer libro de Bob Dylan desde 2004: un logro artístico crucial, y una destilación de lo que ha aprendido sobre su oficio desde su debut en los años sesenta.
Este libro incluye más de sesenta ensayos centrados en canciones de otros artistas, que van desde Stephen Foster hasta Elvis Costello, pasando por Hank Williams o Nina Simone. Dylan analiza lo que llama la trampa de las rimas fáciles, desglosa la forma en que una sola sílaba puede malograr una canción e incluso explica la relación entre el bluegrass y el heavy metal.
Estos ensayos, escritos en la prosa única de Dylan, son misteriosos y volubles, agudos y profundos, y muchas veces nos hacen reír a carcajadas; y, aunque claramente van sobre música, en realidad son meditaciones y reflexiones sobre la condición humana.
Repartidas por todo el libro hay cerca de ciento cincuenta fotos cuidadosamente seleccionadas, además de una serie de textos como salidos de un sueño que, juntos, parecen un poema épico y contribuyen a la trascendencia del conjunto.
