Description

One of music's pre-eminent critics examines the pivotal evening of July 25, 1965, when Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival backed by an electric band and performed his rock hit Like a Rolling Stone. The audience of folk purists and political activists who had embraced him as their acoustic prophet reacted with shock, booing, and scattered cheers-a moment that would reshape popular music and spark decades of debate about artistic evolution and authenticity. This fresh analysis, timed to the Newport Folk Festival's fiftieth anniversary, reconsiders what Dylan's electric turn meant for the folk movement, the counterculture, and the trajectory of rock music itself. Perfect for music historians, Dylan fans, and anyone interested in the transformative cultural moments that defined the 1960s.

Key Features

Dey Street Books presents a critical reassessment of Dylan's legendary 1965 Newport Folk Festival performance that sparked controversy across the folk music establishment.

The narrative captures the electric moment Dylan performed Like a Rolling Stone backed by an electric band, forever changing the landscape of popular music.

This Kindle eBook explores how Dylan's shift from acoustic folk to rock influenced the broader counterculture movement and artistic authenticity debates of the Sixties.

Written by a leading music critic, the analysis examines the mixed reactions-shock, booing, and cheers-from folk purists and political activists in the Newport audience.
