That Thin, Wild Mercury Sound is the definitive treatment of Bob Dylan's magnum opus, Blonde on Blonde, not only providing the most extensive account of the sessions that produced the trailblazing album but also setting the record straight on much of the misinformation that has surrounded the story of how the masterpiece came to be made. Including many new details and eyewitness accounts, as well as keen insight into the Nashville cats who helped Dylan reach rare artistic heights, it explores the lasting impact of rock's first double album.

Great Book...But the Narrator?
Revisado: 12-02-18
Daryl Sanders' book is amazing. He puts you in the moment, a ringside seat at Dylan's mercurial decisions about personnel, lyrics, rhythm, and venues. But why wasn't he hired to narrate his own book? I've heard him talk--he is informed, engaged, with a voice that's authentic. Who is Graham Halstead? Every time he pronounces Johanna as Jo-Anna it's like fingernails across a blackboard. Dude, have you not listened to this song ONCE??? This is an entire book about Blonde on Blonde and I get the distinct impression that you've never listened to the album, that the cuts have no history for you at all. Please, Audible. Let more authors read their own work.
