[German] - Chronicles Volume 1
"'Wenn du so ein Buch schreibst, musst du die Wahrheit sagen.' (Bob Dylan) Diesem Motto hat sich Dylan in seinen Chronicles verschrieben und erzählt selbst von seinen Anfängen in der Country-Szene in den 1960er Jahren. Der Musiker beschreibt mit Herzblut und Leidenschaft wie er um seine künstlerische Identität kämpfen und seine Familie vor der Öffentlichkeit schützen musste. In atemberaubenden Worten erklärt der Künstler seinen Wechsel von Folk zu Rock und was es heißt die großen Bühnen der Welt zu touren. Im Dezember 2024 wird dieses Meisterwerk und die damit die Geschichte einer der talentiertesten Musiker des 21ste Jahrhundert auf die Leinwand gebracht. Timothée Chalamet wird als perfekte Besetzung Bob Dylan selbst spielen. Dieses Aufgebot an Stars wird nur einem wahren Künstler gerecht. Wenn der Vorhang fällt, bleibt nicht nur der Ruhm, sondern auch die Narben der Vergangenheit! Die Autobiographie des Literaturnobelpreisträgers 2016! Gelesen von BAP-Sänger Wolfgang Niedecken."

"The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan's first book of new writing since 2004's Chronicles: Volume One-and since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016. The audio is narrated by an all-star lineup including Bob Dylan, Jeff Bridges, Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, Oscar Isaac, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Sissy Spacek, Alfre Woodard, Jeffrey Wright, and Renée Zellweger! Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan's unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work's transcendence. In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years, and like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement."

[German] - Die Philosophie des modernen Songs
"'Blowin' in the wind', 'All along the watchtower', 'Knockin' on heaven's door' – seine Songs besitzen eine poetische Kraft, für die er mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur geehrt wurde. Nun legt Bob Dylan ein Buch vor, in dem er nicht auf sein eigenes Werk zurückblickt, sondern auf mehr als 60 Songs, die ihn beeindruckt und geprägt haben. Mysteriös und magisch, präzise und profund, oft auch sehr witzig legt er die Substanz jedes Songs frei und meditiert dabei in unnachahmlich dylanesker Diktion über das menschliche Leben und den fragwürdigen Zustand unserer Welt. 'Die Philosophie des modernen Songs' bietet einzigartige Einsichten in die Kunst des Songwritings, die uns von Little Richard zu Frank Sinatra, von Elvis Presley zu The Clash, von Nina Simone zu Elvis Costello führen – hier beeindruckend vorgetragen von einem der besten deutschen Dylan-Kenner, der selbst ein großartiger Musiker und Songwriter ist: BAP-Chef Wolfgang Niedecken."

Audiobook
"WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Music legend Bob Dylan's only work of fiction—a combination of stream of consciousness prose, lyrics, and poetry that gives fans insight into one of the most influential singer-songwriters of our time. Written in 1966, Tarantula is a collection of poems and prose that evokes the turbulence of the times in which it was written, and gives a unique insight into Dylan's creative evolution. It captures Bob Dylan's preoccupations at a crucial juncture in his artistic development, showcasing the imagination of a folk poet laureate who was able to combine the humanity and compassion of his country roots with the playful surrealism of modern art. Angry, funny, and strange, the poems and prose in this collection reflect the concerns found in Dylan's most seminal music: a sense of protest, a verbal playfulness and spontaneity, and a belief in the artistic legitimacy of chronicling everyday life and eccentricity on the street."
