As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eFolk Music\u003c\/i\u003e, Greil Marcus tells Dylan’s story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus’s point of departure is Dylan’s ability to “see myself in others.” Like Dylan’s songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan’s continuing presence and relevance through his empathy—his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan, but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.","brand":"Greil Marcus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42818274328637,"sku":"9780300255317","price":37.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780300255317_fbeb4477-ed82-4118-aa2a-d97dda2e6e4c.jpg?v=1766950327","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/folk-music","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
