Join us at Landmark Booksellers on Sunday, November 8th at 5:00pm for an evening with author and songwriter Don Cusic for the release of his new book, Country Bob: Dylan and Country Music.As one of the most iconic American singer-songwriters in history, Bob Dylan has been a major figure in music and one of the best-selling artists for over sixty years. Coming out of the Greenwich folk scene in the 1960s, Dylan’s music has evolved over the years and defies musical genres. While countless books have been written about Dylan, none have focused on how country music shaped his songwriting, performance style, and musical evolution.
From his earliest years, Dylan was drawn to the country sounds he heard on the radio and on records. As he once said, Hank Williams was his first musical hero. Music historian Don Cusic traces this deep connection from Dylan’s childhood through his folk years, his Nashville recordings, and into his later work, revealing how country music has remained a consistent thread throughout Dylan’s long and restless career. Now in his eighties and still performing, Dylan continues to draw from the well of country music, learning new songs and incorporating them into his live sets and recordings.
This book offers fresh insight into Dylan’s artistry by examining the genre that has inspired and sustained him for decades.
This event is free to attend; please RSVP on our website. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
