Bob Dylan and the blues

 

Michael Gray is one of the most respected of the Dylan writers. The third (and final) edition of his classic study, Song and Dance Man: The Art Of Bob Dylan, is packed with information, learning and sound judgment. Its strongest (and longest, by a mile) chapter is probably that outlining Dylan's blues roots.

Gray has developed a presentation based on the Dylan/blues theme, and has just announced a new autumn itinerary, after successfully touring the show in the first half of 2004. If it's as good as his earlier talk on Bob and rock n roll, it'll be a fine evening of entertainment and enlightenment. I'll be at the Lewes show: see you there?
