The Mammoth Book of Bob Dylan, Sean EganBob Dylan transformed not only folk music, but rock 'n' roll as a whole: he brought the intellectualism of folk lyrics to a genre still dominated by romantic conventions. From the phenomenal commercial success of his 1965 epic, gritty single Like a Rolling Stone to Time Out of Mind, rock's first treatise on mortality, in 1997, Dylan has been fearlessly breaking new ground. The Mammoth Book of Bob Dylan explores his phenomenal legacy in over 500 pages
