{"product_id":"9781789522754","title":"Bob Dylan 1962 to 1970 On Track","description":"Bob Dylan is the magician who sprinkled poetic fairy dust on to the popular music of the early sixties and his songwriting sparked a revolution and changed rock music forever. The diminutive poet\/singer claimed he was merely a ''song and dance man'' but Dylan altered popular music from intellectually bereft teenage rebellion into a serious adult art form worthy of academic study.   Dylan headed for the sixties as a Little Richard rock ''n'' roller but soon turned acoustic folkie and after absorbing the music and words of Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson and Brecht, he became a vagabond social troubadour. Basking in Rimbaud he transformed into a poetic symbolist before later immersing himself in lysergic beat surrealism. The chameleon of Dylan in the sixties was bewildering to his followers. His first album was a raw debut folk\/blues. Then followed three acoustic poetic gems, three ground-breaking surreal ,electric wonders and four that were more mundane and country-tinged.   But by the mid-sixties he was a strung-out polka-dotted rock star. He crashed (physically and mentally) before leaving the sixties as a clean-cut country crooner. Dylan had mutated more times than a trilobite.   Dylan''s ground-breaking music changed the world and his amazing story is revealed by exploring the eleven albums that he released between 1962 and 1970.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43172649337010,"sku":"9781789522754","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789522754_36c03ad5-6d02-457d-85a0-cc9a898ace3b.jpg?v=1786027019","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789522754","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
