Editorial Review:
Arguably the greatest songwriter of the post-war period, Bob Dylan has had a matchless impact on popular culture. His so-called protest songs became the anthems of the Civil Rights movement, and it was through his exploration of electric music that rock came to be taken seriously as art.
In his study Like a Rebel Wild, Jon P. Hooper casts a critical eye over more than forty years of Dylan songs and albums, from the 1962 debut Bob Dylan to 2006s critically-lauded Modern Times. He considers the events in Dylans personal life that gave rise to each work, and especially the social and cultural contexts in which the music was made.
Jon P. Hooper teaches English at a private institute and has been a Dylan fan for almost twenty years. |
