Things Twice – the Book
Over the years, I've written a bit about Dylan and his music. Quite a lot, actually. I've collected them in bookform as Things Twice [pdf, c. 2 Mb]. The music examples can be downloaded in midi and pdf format.
I recommend the pdf version for the full reader experience, but for those who don't fancy the download, the individual articles are available in html format.
