Description

Trouble in Mind, documents the tours and recording sessions with an obsessive detail that, at the very least, encourages the reader to come at it all afresh. . . . his interrogation of what it used to be all for is, to fans like me, highly illuminating.” ―NewStatesman

Between 1979 and 1981, Dylan produced and released three of his most controversial albums―Slow Train Coming, Saved, and Shot of Love―toured the world, and played the most contentious shows of his career. Remarkably, this entire period used to be most likely the most fastidiously well-documented of his career, with each studio session, each live show, and each single rehearsal recorded on Dylan’s behalf. For the first time, that material has been excavated, reviewed, and accessed by “most likely the world’s leading authority on all things Dylan” (Rolling Stone).

Serving as an invaluable companion to the contemporary Sony Bootleg Series (November 2017), Trouble in Mind is the first book to concentrate on the life and works of Dylan as a born-again Christian from the perspective of both his artistic growth and the development of his eschatological worldview. It is going to draw on prior to now undocumented song drafts, rehearsal tapes, and new interviews with engineers, musicians, and girlfriends.

Aside from his definitive biography, Dylan In the back of the Shades (Simon & Schuster, 1991; new edition HarperCollins, 2001), which remains in print more than twenty years after publication, Clinton Heylin has published more than one books on Dylan. He has been an invited speaker at Dylan conventions world wide and used to be chosen as the annotator of the 2013 forty-nine CD box set Dylan’s Complete Columbia Recordings by Sony, for which he used to be nominated for the 2014 ASCAP Drew Taylor Award.
