Description

Explore the moment that changed music history forever. This book by a leading music critic provides a fresh look at the day Bob Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival. Timed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of this legendary event, the narrative recreates the tension of July 25, 1965. When Dylan took the stage backed by an electric band to perform Like a Rolling Stone, he faced a crowd of folk purists and political activists who saw him as an acoustic prophet. The resulting mix of shock, boos, and cheers created a cultural shift that resonated across the world. This account serves as the inspiration for the major motion picture A Complete Unknown, making it an essential read for fans of music history and folk legends.
