DYLAN GOES ELECTRIC!

Le livre qui a inspiré "A Complete Unknown", nommé aux Oscars 2025, Comment le passage de Bob Dylan à la guitare électrique a chamboulé le monde la musique.

One of the music world's pre-eminent critics takes a fresh and much-needed look at the day Dylan "went electric" at the Newport Folk Festival, timed to coincide with the event's fiftieth anniversary.

On the evening of July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival, backed by an electric ban. And with that, he roared into his new rock hit, Like a Rolling Stone. The audience of committed folk purists and political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet were schoked. They reacted with a mix of shock, booing, and scattered cheers.

One of the defining moments in modern music. Breaking new ground on a story we think we know, this book is a thoughtful, sharp appraisal of the controversial event at Newport. But also a nuanced, provocative, analysis of why it matters.
