"I had begun a long way down and had come from a long way off. But now was the time for destiny to show up. It seemed to be staring directly at me and no one else." Bob Dylan says as much in Chronicles: Volume One, his amazing book that examines pivotal moments in his life and career.
We view Greenwich Village around 1961, when Dylan first comes in Manhattan, via his eyes and open mind. Dylan's New York is a fantastical metropolis full of opportunities: smoky, late-night parties; literary epiphanies; fleeting romances and enduring friendships. The elegiac insights are interspersed with sharp, piercing recollections. Chronicles: Volume One is an intimate and very personal memory of amazing times, enhanced by side excursions to New Orleans, Woodstock, Minnesota, and points west.
Chronicles: Volume One is a fascinating insight into Bob Dylan's ideas and inspirations; it is at once illuminating, lyrical, impassioned, and humorous. Dylan's voice is distinctly American; it's lively, enthusiastic, imaginative, and rhythmic. Bob Dylan uses the unmatched storytelling abilities and remarkable expressiveness that characterize his music to transform Chronicles: Volume One into a moving meditation on life and the people and places that influenced both the artist and the man.
