Veteran journalist and critic Chris Morris looks back at his intense half-century-long relationship with the music of Bob Dylan, viewing the role the singer-songwriter’s work has played in his own life. A candid album-by-album exploration of Dylan’s catalog through 2016’s “Fallen Angels” examines the powerful personal impact of the musician’s art.In 2013, Morris – the former music editor of The Hollywood Reporter and a longtime senior writer at Billboard – hit a psychological roadblock as he worked on his book Los Lobos: Dream in Blue (ultimately published in 2015 by the University of Texas Press). Hoping to get his writing flowing again, he turned to the music of Bob Dylan, whose album catalog had recently been collected in a boxed-set edition, and published his thoughts as posts on the blog site Tumblr.It quickly became apparent to the writer and to his readers that the posts were something more than a critical reconsideration of Dylan’s music.Morris writes. “The pieces were not about Dylan and they were not about me; they were about Dylan and me. I found myself reconsidering my past through these records. Where was I when this came out? How old was I? Where was I living? Who was I with? Was I in love? Was I happy? Miserable? Crazy? Was I high? Where was I working? What was my state of mind? How did the music affect me? In some cases the pieces were coolly measured (though never impersonal); in others I found myself plunging into places within me that I hadn’t visited for years. I was retrieving a portion of my life, which I had spent almost all of in the company of Bob Dylan’s music.”Here, Dylan’s music is explored album by album, from his 1962 debut as a folksinger to his 2015-16 explorations of the Classic American songbook; the creative highs and lows of his entire 37-title discography are examined.But Morris’ take on Dylan’s music doesn’t merely weigh the quality of the work – it reveals how a gifted artist’s creations have the power to engage, incite, alter, and even rescue a listener over the course of a lifetime. Together Through Life occupies a unique space in the vast bibliography of Bob Dylan books.

I've titled my review as such because this is a book I have been writing in my head ever since I first heard Bob. That is, at a level of maturity where I could relate to what Bob was talking about. Or what I felt he was talking about. My own interpretation thereof. Isn't that what it's supposed to be about? I mean I used to imagine my self hanging out with all the characters in the songs from the LP's from '65-'66. The diplomat with the Siamese cat on his shoulder etc. you know just what I'm talking about.... Chris's book for me is something to cherish for even though I have my own memories and stories inside of me relating to when I first heard these records, it's always great to relate to other's experiences with the same records. I mean c'mon, that's what us music freaks do. And I'm grateful for that. It's one of the most important things for me. Music as community. Relating to fellow brothers and sisters over high art. This is also one of those books that I feel I can always go back to. Pick it up anywhere and just read and let my mind also wander as to what was I feeling or experiencing when that record came out. I've loved Chris's writing ever since I first read his reviews way back when in the local Los Angeles papers. Last year his Los Lobos book was one of the best music biographies I have ever read. I reviewed it here as well for those inclined to see why I thought it was a must read for anyone with even a passing interest in Los Angeles music and culture. I love this Dylan book. It's definitely one of my very favorites on the subject because it's so personal but I can relate to every chapter even if I disagree with Chris on some of these records. But that's the way it's supposed to be. Another great one Chris. Now do a book on The Blasters!!
