Michael Gray Song Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan - Vol. 3 World Gone Right:

The final volume in the Song Dance Man Series studies Dylans 1990s albums beginning with a defense of "Under The Red Sky" for its innovative use of nursery rhyme. It then expands on the deep review of Bob Dylan and the Blues from Vol.1 with an investigation of the history of the folk blues songs Bob Dylan recorded on on "Good As I Been To You" and "World Gone Wrong". It then includes an extensive analysis and ultimately a reassessment of 1997s "Time Out Of Mind" including an assessment of the four major works found on that Grammy winning album. The volume concludes with a closing overview, There Is Only Up Wing an Down Wing which considers the challenges and low points Dylan had experienced (mostly in the 1980s) alongside the unmistakable achievements and genius that he has delivered through his career and particularly where he worked himself back to by the end of the century."SONG DANCE MAN The Art of Bob Dylan" is unique in its scope, integrating biographical, literary and musical contexts into a powerful scrutiny of Dylan as songwriter and performer. This 50th Anniversary Edition is a threevolume republishing of the celebrated text that has gone out of print from Song Dance Man III. The work in these three volumes has been called "Monumental, endlessly illuminating." (Rolling Stone) "Probably the greatest book about the work of a single popular musician ever to have been published." (London Review Bookshop) and "The definitive critical work." (Evening Standard).
