De ascendencia jud�a, a la edad de 6 a�os Bob Dylan se traslad� con su familia al pueblo minero de Hibbing. A temprana edad comenz� a tocar la guitarra con la cual trataba de emular a sus �dolos Johnnie Ray, Hank Williams, y otras figuras del rock and roll como Little Richard. Empez� a tocar en los clubes de folk de Greenwich Village. Una cr�tica de The New York Times llam� la atenci�n de John Hammond, de la CBS, que le ofreci� un contrato discogr�fico. Su primer �lbum, de 1962, se titul� Bob Dylan e inclu�a versiones de cl�sicos de la m�sica popular. Por el contrario, en su siguiente trabajo, Freewheelin'' Bob Dylan, present� trece canciones propias entre las que ya destacaron cl�sicos como �Blowin#in the Wind�, �Don''t Think Twice, It''s All Right� o �A Hard Rain''s a-Gonna Fall�. El resto, hasta la concesi�n del Premio Nobel de Literatura 2016, ya es historia.Esta edici�n ampliada de la biograf�a cl�sica y definitiva de Howard Sounes incluye ahora un nuevo y �ltimo cap�tulo que completa la trayectoria vital de Dylan hasta su octava d�cada.Publicado por vez primera en 2001 y ya entonces saludado por la cr�tica, el libro ofrece un retrato completo tanto del hombre como del artista.

Acclaimed biographer Howard Sounes has spent three years researching the book and has interviewed more than 250 people important in Dylan''s life -- many of whom have never before given interviews -- and sifted through documentary evidence unavailable to previous biographers.With this unprecedented access, Sounes dispels many myths, reveals major discoveries, and uncovers the secret life of the mysterious singer, while giving a full appreciation of Dylan''s artistic achievements and significance to American culture. Sounes''s prodigious research has led to many significant revelations about every aspect of Dylan''s life. For years there has been speculation about Dylan''s marital life and children, and Sounes has uncovered the complete, fascinating story of his family life, which will completely change the public''s perception of the singer. Sounes has interviewed a key witness to Dylan''s 1966 motorcycle accident, a turning point in his career. The witness has never before spoken publicly, and Sounes provides the clearest picture yet of the accident and the subsequent "lost years" in Woodstock, New York. He also gives inside accounts of the important recording sessions and concert tours, the creation of every album and the most celebrated songs, Dylan''s labyrinthine love life, his heart illness in 1997, and much more. These inside accounts come directly from Sounes''s extensive interviews of girlfriends, family members, former personal assistants, fellow music stars and friends, members of touring and session bands, producers, club owners and concert promoters, and many others. Candid and refreshing, Down the Highway is also a sincere appreciation of Dylan''s seminal place in postwar American cultural history and an essential book for the millions of people who have enjoyed Dylan''s music over the years.
