New book by Bob Dylan this fall: "The Philosophy of Modern Song"

[BluesRunTheGame]

According to a press release, Dylan began working on The Philosophy of Modern Song in 2010. The book contains over 60 essays that Dylan wrote about songs by artists including Stephen Foster, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, and Nina Simone. “[Dylan] analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal,” according to the press release. Dylan will narrate a portion of the audiobook, with a mix of other voices, too.
