Blonde On The Tracks: Dylan's Discography re-imagined and re-examined - Paperback

by Scot P. Livingston (Author)

Anyone who has done more than a cursory look at Bob Dylan's entire discography knows that there's a "Good Bob" and a "Bad Bob." While "Good Bob" is an understandably influential musical genius, the weird failures of "Bad Bob" may be a more fascinating subject matter. What if a true fan of "Bad Bob" were going to take a deep dive into the collective albums of Dylan? Someone who prefers "Christmas In The Heart" and "Self-Portrait" to "Blonde On Blonde" or "Blood On The Tracks"? What would such a person think of the world-famous material by "Good Bob"? How would they re-organise Dylan's original albums to fit their own twisted preferences?BLONDE ON THE TRACKS attempts to do just that with reviews of 675] songs and outtakes from Bob's entire career, as well as suggestions for how to make each record weirder, more interesting, or just "bad." Most Dylan fans may be outraged by some of the opinions within; but if the can get past their initial revulsion, they may find a new appreciation for some of Bob Dylan's more notable failures ... or at least something new to think (and argue) about.SCOT P. LIVINGSTON is not a Dylan apologist who thinks that Bob can do no wrong. Nor is he a simple contrarian just making outrageous statements to deliberately annoy Dylan die-hards. Scot is just a big fan of "Bad Bob."
