Only Sam shepard could have written this logbook covering his experience traveling with the film crew of The Rolling Thunder Revue. I had no idea this book was even out there and as good as it was. For any Bob Dylan fans, artists, creative persons, and just about anybody looking for a very good time. Precious cargo here. And not to be missed. The photographs also add so much to this fine text.

This is probably one of my favorite Dylan books. Shepard (the playwright) gets asked to come along on the Rolling Thunder Review (a tour by Dylan and a vast entourage that played a lot of very small venues in the Northeast while filming what would become Reynaldo and Clara). This book is little vignettes about incidents that happened on the way. It is hilarious and full of great pictures. My favorite vignette is Dylan meeting the Shakers. ( )

All the stops and people met along the way of the Rolling Thunder tour, (Northeast), 1975.

Playwright and sometime musician Shepard was the official scribe on the Rolling Thunder tour and provides an interesting volume of the time. ( )
