"The full, fascinating story of the life and work of Bob Dylan is revealed as never before in Down the Highway. Acclaimed biographer Howard Sounes interviewed more than 250 key people in Dylan's life — including fellow musicians, lovers and family members - and gained access to previously unseen documentary material. From this mass of exclusive information he has constructed a compelling, engagingly fast-paced and revelatory biography, taking the reader on a journey from Dylan's childhood in a Minnesota mining town to his life in the present day. It is essential reading for anybody who has ever owned a Dylan album."
