Auf Kritik stieß z.B. die unzulässige Herauslösung von Dylans Texten aus der Musik und die Deutung seiner Lieder als Gedichte. <?biblio ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "URL" : "http://www.deutschlandradiokultur.de/bob-dylan-literaturnobelpreistraeger-wider-willen.1005.de.html?dram:article_id=373494", "accessed" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2017", "3", "7" ] ] }, "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Geisel", "given" : "Sieglinde", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Deutschlandradio Kultur", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2016" ] ] }, "note" : "NULL", "title" : "Bob Dylan - Literaturnobelpreistr/u00e4ger wider Willen", "type" : "webpage" }, "uris" : [ "http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=def676cb-a954-3501-9d23-c2f9f9e7767e" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Geisel 2016)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Geisel 2016)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Geisel 2016)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }?> Unbestritten ist nichtsdestotrotz Bob Dylans Rolle als einer der einflussreichsten Musiker des 20.

Bob Dylan: American Troubadour is the first book on Dylan to look at his entire career, from his first album to his most recent, Tempest, released 50 years later in 2012. In a brief compass, Brown provides insightful critical commentary on Dylan's entire corpus, placing full scope of Dylan's career in the context of its times in order to assess the relationship of Dylan's music to contemporary American culture. Each chapter addresses a particular phase of Dylan's career, taking its cue from events in Dylan's life and from the collective experiences that shaped the times. As the artist who famously proclaimed /"the times, they are a-changin',/" Dylan was never static as an artist, his music altering as the times changed. In Bob Dylan: American Troubadour, Donald Brown follows the shifting versions of Dylan, from his songs of conscientious social involvement to more personal exploratory songs; from his influential rock albums of the mid-'60s to his adaptations of Country music; from his three very different tours in the 1970s to his /"born again/" period as a proselytizer for Christ, to his frustrations as a recording and performing artist in the 1980s; from his retrospective importance in the Nineties to the refreshingly vital albums he has been producing in the 21st century. Bob Dylan: American Troubadour will engage not only Dylan fans and students of his work but those interested American popular music, history, and culture./"--Back cover.
