For fifty years, Bob Dylan’s music has been a source of wonder to his fans and endless fodder for analysis by music critics.

Unlike other Dylan books, which vary between the academic and the journalistic, Counting Down Bob Dylan uniquely renders Dylan’s music approachable to new fans by highlighting the powerful emotional forces that fuel his dazzling lyrics.
