Summary: Self indulgent
Comment: The Dylan gossip and details about the recording sessions are essential for any true Dylanphile, but the authors' analyses of Dylan songs are at best self indulgent and at worst a 9th-graders' pompous research report. Skim it to avoid the weak attempt at literary interpretation.

Rating: 4
Summary: The whole album should have been recorded in Minneapolis
Comment: The New York tracks sound lifeless and insignificant in comparison. The Minneapolis-recorded tunes are crisp and vibrant. Look for the bootlegs of the unreleased Minneapolis tunes to see how this wonderful album could have been even better.

Decent book, by the way. Good info and an entertaining read.

Summary: BLOOD ON THE TRACKS FACTS
Comment: It's a good time to be a BOTT fan. I recently found Mary Lee's Corvette's version of BOTT on CD as well as a bootleg CD of some of the New York sessions songs (which incorrectly listed the studio dates as September 12th, 16th, and 23rd instead of the 16th, 17th, 19th, and 24th and sounded more like demos then anything else). Anyway, imagine my delight at finding this book sitting on the shelf at a local bookstore while browsing in the music section. At first glance at the title, "A Simple Twist Of Fate", I thought that this was just another Dylan biography. Luckily, the subtitle, "Bob Dylan And The Making Of Blood On The Tracks", was also printed on the spine. When I snatched the single copy off the shelf, you'd have thought I'd found the Holy Grail. Not far off the mark for me considering that apart from my March 13, 1975 issue of Rolling Stone (Volume 182), I hadn't read more then a sentence or 2 about BOTT anywhere else. It's about time that some light was shed on the making of this seminal recording. Very informative, long overdue, and a must have for any true BOTT fan. Come read the Blood On The Tracks facts.
