  This is the second volume in Clinton Heylin's magisterial survey of the songs of Bob Dylan. The first volume - Revolution in the Air which is now available in paperback - charted the rise of Bob Dylan from his first jottings to the full expression of genius in songs such as Hard Rain Gonna Fall and The Times They Are a Changin . Still on the Road begins in 1974 with Blood on the Tracks , the album filled with masterworks such as Tangled Up in Blue and Simple Twist of Fate that heralded a watershed in Dylan's creative journey, and continues to chart his never-ending fascination with music and the art of song up to 2006's Modern Times . Praise for Revolution in the Air : 'Beg, steal, borrow...a compelling history of Dylan's mercurial song writing' - Mojo, 5-star Review . 'Better than any biography could ever be, and a crucial Dylan book' - Jonathan Letham. 'Valuable resource' - Observer . 'A gripping new book by Dylan scholar Clinton Heylin so is so far in the deep end that its borderline insane.. [yet] has been devoured with a ravenous, insatiable appetite, and I have even made notes in the margin' - Mark Ellen, Word . 'Already has the critics singing its praises' - The Herald . 'Terrifically interesting for Dylan nuts' - Sunday Herald . 'Manna for completists' - Metro (nationwide). 'Another epic work from Heylin' - Ham & High . 'True to form, Heylin digs deep-way deep-into the songs, mixing cold hard facts with illuminating anecdotes' - Mark Smith, managing editor, Acoustic Guitar . 'A magnum opus that anyone curious about, fascinated by, and devoted to His Master's Voice will want to read and ponder' - Jonathan Cott, author, Dylan , and editor, Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews .
