   Hi All...   
      
   The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan?s first book of new writing since   
   2004?s Chronicles: Volume One?and since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature   
   in 2016.   
      
   "Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary   
   insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty essays focusing   
   on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and   
   in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he   
   calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single   
   syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy   
   metal. These essays are written in Dylan?s unique prose. They are mysterious   
   and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And   
   while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and   
   reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150   
   carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken   
   together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work?s transcendence.
