A cool new way of looking at the AMAZING lyrics of Bob Dylan. Some of the illustrations I liked, others I didn't, but I love the idea.
Visueel sterk album met 13 heel diverse interpretaties van Dylan's nummers door bekende en minder bekende striptekenaars.
Terwijl sommige van de strips niet meer zijn dan korte sfeerbeelden bij de song of Dylan in het algemeen, vertellen andere een heel verhaal. Het zijn dan ook vooral deze die bij blijven, met Dave McKean's "Desolation Row", Gradimir Smudja's "Hurricane" en Lorenzo Mattotti's "A Hard Day's Rain is gonna fall" als uitschieters.
Minpuntje is wel dat, hoewel de originele lyrics bij het begin van elk verhaal zijn weergegeven (vergezeld van een portretje van Dylan) het toch erg storend is dat ze in de verhalen zelf naar het Nederlands vertaald zijn. Dat leidt ertoe dat je telkens gaat vertalen of terugbladeren...
Desondanks is show more het een mooi boekje geworden dat je absoluut aanzet om Dylan's songs opnieuw te gaan beluisteren. show less

Great, grandioso, ovviamente per un fan del rock e, particolarmente, di Bob Dylan
Senza dimenticare che, comunque, le liriche di Bob Dylan ormai vengono studiate a scuola e che da anni B. D. (Robert Zimmerman) è candidato al premio Nobel per la letteratura

These artists are brave souls, putting down on paper or canvas their ideas of one of folk, rock, pop, country, and blues’ most frequently impenetrable chroniclers of life through song. Because of this, it’s a fair bet that many of their interpretations of these now-beloved songs won’t be the same as yours, which makes them all the braver.
