Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions, 1960-1994 by Clinton Heylin, Don Hunstein, Sara Steman, Joe Alper

Not a fan of the way this book is written at all. Each recording session is covered with a lot of bias about which versions are best, which just makes it slightly annoying to read through. It works best as a reference guide for hardcore Dylan fans going through bootlegs.

If, like me, you want to know as much as you can about Dylan's recordings, you have to get a copy of this. But that means reading endless badly-written diatribes against Dylan and whomever else Heylin dislikes. Apparently, it's okay for Heylin to prefer the original "Blood on the Tracks" recordings, but for Greil Marcus to prefer the acoustic "Blind Willie McTell" is, to quote Heylin, "wrong."
