Quote:Acclaimed cultural critic Greil Marcus tells the story of Bob Dylan through the lens of seven penetrating songs

"The most interesting writer on Dylan over the years has been the cultural critic Greil Marcus. . . . No one alive knows the music that fueled Dylan's imagination better. . . . Folk Music . . .[is an] ingenious book of close listening."-David Remnick, New Yorker

Named a Best Music Book of 2022 by Rolling Stone

"Further elevates Marcus to what he has always been: a supreme artist-critic."-Hilton Als
