| | Dylans chimes of freedom |
 | | In his brilliant new book Chimes of Freedom, Mike Marqusee puts the vast body of Dylan "scholarship" to shame, offering readers an engaging and masterful study of the political currents that shaped Dylans art and which, in turn, his remarkable music shaped. |
 | | Marqusee, who left the U.S. in the 1970s for England, where he has been an antiwar and antiracist activist for years, focuses on Dylans trajectory through the 1960s, a period in which he was not only remarkably productive, but radically changed popular music. |
 | | Chimes of Freedom covers a period in which Dylan wrote some of the most damning, thought-provoking and lyrical songs anybody had ever put to paper, including "Only a Pawn in Their Game," "Chimes of Freedom," "When the Ship Comes In," "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and "Masters of War." |
