About the Book

This is the second volume in Clinton Heylin's magisterial survey of the songs of Bob Dylan. The first volume - Revolution in the Air which is now available in paperback - charted the rise of Bob Dylan from his first jottings to the full expression of genius in songs such as Hard Rain Gonna Fall and The Times They Are a Changin.

Still on the Road begins in 1974 with "Blood on the Tracks", the album filled with masterworks such as Tangled Up in Blue and Simple Twist of Fate that heralded a watershed in Dylan's creative journey, and continues to chart his never-ending fascination with music and the art of song up to 2006's Modern Times.

Praise for Revolution in the Air

Beg, steal, borrow ... a compelling history of Dylan's mercurial song writing.
Mojo, 5-star review

Better than any biography could ever be, and a crucial Dylan book Jonathan Letham

Valuable resource
Observer

A gripping new book by Dylan scholar Clinton Heylin so is so far in the deep end that its borderline insane . . [yet] has been devoured with a ravenous, insatiable appetite, and I have even made notes in the margin. Mark Ellen, Word.

Terrifically interesting for Dylan nuts Sunday Herald

Manna for completists Metro

True to form, Heylin digs deep-way deep-into the songs, mixing cold hard facts with illuminating anecdotes. - Mark Smith, managing editor, Acoustic Guitar
