Description:

These 42 songs are the unwavering proof of Dylan's new book, Philosophy of Song. ...... Written for the first time in 18 years since "Autobiography," "The Philosophy of Song" is a must-read new book for all music fans, in which Bob Dylan selects 66 songs and reveals the profound secrets of popular music. There is no better CD to accompany a book that explores a wide variety of songs from Bing Crosby and Hank Williams to Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Nina Simone, and The Who, all in Dylan's own profound and epic style. The 42 songs on this CD represent the vast horizons of Americana as seen through Dylan's eyes. Commentary: Yutaka Kimura
