{"product_id":"the-lyrics-since-1962","title":"Bob Dylan: The Lyrics [2014] hardback","description":"\u003cb\u003eWinner of the NOBEL PRIZE in Literature 2016\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For the first time, a comprehensive, definitive collection of lyrics of music legend and poet Bob Dylan, complete with expert annotations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A major publishing event - a beautiful, comprehensive collection of the lyrics of Bob Dylan with artwork from thirty-three albums, edited and with an introduction by Christopher Ricks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As it was well put by Al Kooper (the man behind the organ on 'Like a Rolling Stone'), 'Bob is the equivalent of William Shakespeare. What Shakespeare did in his time, Bob does in his time.' Christopher Ricks, editor of T. S. Eliot, Samuel Beckett, Tennyson, and The Oxford Book of English Verse, has no argument with Mr. Kooper's assessment, and Dylan is attended to accordingly in this authoritative edition of his lyrics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the words of Ricks: 'For fifty years, all the world has delighted in Bob Dylan's books of words and more than words: provocative, mysterious, touching, baffling, not-to-be-pinned-down, intriguing, and a reminder that genius is free to do as it chooses. And, again and again, these are not the words that he sings on the initially released albums.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This edition changes things, giving us the words from officially released studio and live recordings, as well as selected variant lyrics and revisions to these, recent revisions and retrospective ones; and, from the archives, words that, till now, have not been published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Lyrics, edited with diligence by Christopher Ricks, Lisa Nemrow, and Julie Nemrow. As set down, as sung, and as sung again.","brand":"Dylan, Bob \u0026 Ricks, Christopher \u0026 Nemrow, Lisa \u0026 Nemrow, Julie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509606510882,"sku":"9781471137099","price":145.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/dylan-bob-ricks-christopher-nemrow-lisa-nemrow-julie-bob-dylan-the-lyrics-2014-hardback-9781471137099-60286966464851.jpg?v=1733292119","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/the-lyrics-since-1962","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
