Bob Dylan in Performance

Zusatztext

<span>This study of Bob Dylans art employs a performance studies lens, exploring the distinctive ways he brings words and music to life on recordings, onstage, and onscreen. Chapters focus on the relationship of Dylans recorded performances to the historical bardic role, to the American popular song tradition, and to rock music culture. His uses of both stage and studio to shape his performances are explored, as are his forays into cinema. Special consideration is given to his vocal performances and to his use of particular personae as a performer. The full scope of Dylans body of work to date is situated in terms of the influences that have shaped his performances and the ways these performances have shaped contemporary popular music.</span>
