Content introduction
The Answer Blows in the Wind is Bob Dylan's first new work since he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. He began writing the book in 2010 and has been working on it for more than ten years. In this new book, he offers extraordinary insights into the context and nature of content in 66 carefully selected pieces of modern popular music. By recounting the music of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Cher, The Who, The Temptations, and others, Dylan not only provides readers with a personal set list of modern pop music, but also presents a kaleidoscopic portrait of 20th-century America.
As an ironic observer, Dylan has affection and passion for these songs and the wonderful people and stories behind them. These essays are not just music reviews, they are so full of wisdom, insight and originality that you can almost hear Dylan's voice emerge from the pages, with emotional fantasies and confessions, as well as rational interpretations and Revelations. As Variety put it, "This is definitely one of the best books ever written about pop music."
