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