As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eFolk Music\u003c\/em\u003e, Greil Marcus tells Dylan's story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus's point of departure is Dylan's ability to \"see myself in others.\" Like Dylan's songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan's continuing presence and relevance through his empathy-his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan, but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49415719616816,"sku":"BDgs9p","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/gs9p-Square-cover.jpg?v=1772751134","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-gs9p","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
