Dylan On Dylan features twenty-nine of the most significant and revealing conversations with the singer, stretching over forty years from the earliest days of his career in1962 through to 2004. Among the highlights are the seminal Rolling Stone interviews by Jann Wenner, Jonathan Cott, Kurt Loder and Mikal Gilmore, as well as the legendary 1966 Playboy interview. Through these extraordinary interviews we watch as layers of fact and fiction fold around Dylan s life story. But we also see the mask come off and glimpse something of his inner life too. It is a mesmerising journey one that brings us closer to Bob Dylan than ever before.
