Revolution in the Air - The Songs of Bob Dylan, Volume I 1957 - 1973, recounts the story of each song as it is written, giving a full appreciation of the songs themselves as well as Dylan the emerging artist. Unlike any other book on Dylan, it charts his rise as a writer, where he gained his inspiration, the burst of energy that produced some of his most famous songs and the lesser known stories behind the more iconic verses. Dylan wrote 600 songs and Volume I covers the first 300.
