Down the Highway

For Bob Dylan's 70th birthday, a revised and updated new edition of Howard Sounes' classic biography of the legend.

This new edition of Howard Sounes' definitive biography of Bob Dylan, first published to international critical acclaim in 2001, gives a complete picture of the man as well as of the artist and performer.

Based on in-depth original research, including hundreds of interviews with Dylan's closest associates, Down the Highway now also offers a fresh chapter covering the artist's recent projects to bring his story fully up to date.

A compelling, engagingly fast-paced, and revelatory life, it takes the listener on a journey from Dylan's childhood in a Minnesota mining town to the status he enjoys today as the leading poet-troubadour of popular song, and one of the most iconic figures of contemporary culture.

Howard Sounes is the author of Charles Bukowski: Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life (1999); Fred & Rose (1995), the bestselling account of the lives and crimes of Fred and Rosemary West; and Fab: An Intimate Life of Paul McCartney (2010). He lives in London.
