Bob Dylan: Performing Artist 1974-1986 (The Middle Years)

'Bob Dylan: Performing Artist 1974-1986' is the second volume of US critic Paul Williams' widely acclaimed writings on the music and performances of Bob Dylan. Picking up where his previous study left off, Williams explores the years 1974 to 1986 and discusses the evolution of Dylan's style and concerns. The result is the most lucid and informed interpretation available of the mature work of this major 20th Century artist. Paul Williams was founder of Crawdaddy!, the first American rock music magazine. He has also written 18 books. 'Williams remains the most eminently readable of all Dylan commentators'.
