In 2016, Bob Dylan sold his personal archive to the George Kaiser Foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As the boxes started to arrive, Clinton Heylin assessed this unique material, and soon found that much of what we know about Dylan is wrong. Taking a fresh look at Dylan's early years—and including 16 pages of rare photos—this biography traces the Minnesotan bard to 1961 New York, through his involvement in the civil rights movement, the recording of Highway 61 Revisited, and his life-changing 1966 motorcycle crash.
