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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eFolk Music\u003c\/i\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.","brand":"Marcus, Greil","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42984289108153,"sku":"9780300255317","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/marcus-greil-folk-music-a-bob-dylan-biography-in-seven-songs-9780300255317-33995468472505.jpg?v=1666719167","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/folk-music-a-bob-dylan-biography-in-seven-songs","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
