The ultimate collection for every Bob Dylan fan: A beautiful, comprehensive volume of Dylan's lyrics, from the beginning of his career through the present day.
As it was well put by Al Kooper (the man behind the organ on "Like a Rolling Stone"), "Bob is the equivalent of William Shakespeare. What Shakespeare did in his time, Bob does in his time." Christopher Ricks, editor of T.S. Eliot, Samuel Beckett, Tennyson, and "The Oxford Book of English Verse," has no argument with Mr. Kooper's assessment, and Dylan well worth celebrating and studying in this authoritative edition of his lyrics. Ricks says: "For fifty years, all the world has delighted in Bob Dylan's books of words and more than words: provocative, mysterious, touching, baffling, not-to-be-pinned-down, intriguing, and a reminder that genius is free to do as it chooses. And, again and again, these are not the words that he sings on the initially released albums."
This collection changes things, giving us the words from officially released studio and live recordings, as well as selected variant lyrics and revisions to these, recent revisions and retrospective ones; and, from the archives, words that, till now, have not been published. "The Lyrics," edited with diligence by leading Dylan scholars, is the ultimate, definitive source for unpacking Dylan's enormous, varied, and rich lyrical catalog. As set down, as sung, and as sung again.
