Sound Opinions Presents: Like A Rolling Stone - The Music of Bob Dylan
Series: Sound Opinions Specials
From: Sound Opinions
Length: 00:59:00
Sound Opinions devotes an entire hour to the life and music of Bob Dylan. Dylan is one of rock 'n' roll's most profound visionaries, and also its great contrarian. And on May 24, 2011 he turns 70. Veteran rock critics Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis have spent decades covering Dylan's massive and complicated body of work. And now they'll debunk the myths and debate the highs and lows of Dylan's most-well known and prolific period from unplugged to electric.
The Sound Opinions hosts are joined by Dylan scholar Clinton Heylin and legendary musician and Dylan collaborator Al Kooper to talk about his development from a Greenwich Village folkie to a plugged in rocker. You'll hear rare recordings and Kooper's first-hand accounts of the infamous 1965 concert at the Newport Folk Festival and the Nashville recording sessions for Blonde on Blonde.
Like A Rolling Stone - The Music of Bob Dylan is a perfect fit for news and music stations and is available for free. It is rich with tunes put in context by compelling stories and opinions, and underscores the significance of Bob Dylan as the "voice of a generation" confronts a new one.

Remarkable "Dylan @ 70" Special Program
Sound Opinion’s has produced a wonderful one-hour special to mark Bob Dylan’s music and career as he becomes 70 on May 24,2011. This is a stand-alone program that is not a weekly Sound Opinions episode. It is available only via PRX and is free to all stations.
I have been a Dylan fan for many years. One of the things I like the most about this special program – Like A Rolling Stone - The Music of Bob Dylan is that it doesn’t try to tell the whole story. The program focuses, deeply and lovingly, on Dylan’s early acoustic years through his transition to electric guitar.
Hosts Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis share stories and perspectives with Dylan scholar Clinton Heylin and legendary musician and Dylan collaborator Al Kooper. Kooper tells amazing first-hand accounts about recording sessions and concerts during the time Dylan went electric. Myths are debunked and you feel like you are there on the scene.
Without hesitation, I recommend Sound Opinions Presents: Like A Rolling Stone - The Music of Bob Dylan to news and music stations. Your listeners will thank you.
