For the first time, a comprehensive, definitive collection of lyrics of music legend and poet Bob Dylan. The complete lyrics, from 1962 to 2012, with additional early lyrics, and artworkwork from thirty-three albums. This edition changes things, giving us the words from officially released studio and live recordings, as well as selected variant lyrics and revisions to these, recent revisions and retrospective ones; and, from the archives, words that, till now, have not been published. In the words of the literary critic Christopher Ricks: 'For fifty years, all the world has delighted in Bob Dylan's books of words and more than words: provocative, mysterious, touching, baffling, not-to-be-pinned-down, intriguing, and a reminder that genius is free to do as it chooses. And, again and again, these are not the words that he sings on the initially released albums.'. Item #105683
