The Double Life of Bob Dylan: A Restless, Hungry Feeling, 1941-1966 is a biography of Bob Dylan's life told through the lyrics of his songs. Heylin tells how Dylan's early life had an impact on his later music and how he was able to juggle two lives--a private one as a husband and father and a public one as a musician. This audiobook begins with Dylan's first recordings in New York City in 1941, through his accident at the Newport Folk Festival and concluding after five years in 1966 with the release of John Wesley Harding.

Bob Dylan's career has been a complex, often baffling and sometimes brilliant mix of raw talent and moments of sheer revelation. The book uses the individual songs of Dylan's career as an index to the artist, their origins, and the ways in which they fit into his larger identity. But this is not a biography or a literary criticism. It is an exploration of how Dylan has affected the world through his work: from conservative political commentator to folk-rock icon to apolitical troubadour.

In his book, Clinton Heylin examines the life and career of Bob Dylan, who has been in the public eye since 1961. The book is not a biography intended for children but rather an examination of what has happened to one of the most influential musicians, authors, and artists of our time. The author explains how Dylan's tumultuous side led him to create such beautiful songs as "Hurricane," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," "Blowin' in the Wind," and more.

The double life of Bob Dylan begins in 1941 with his self-recorded solo vocal demo that would eventually be released as 'Blowin' in the Wind'. This project was a modest effort that began at a time when he was barely scraping by, but within two years, Bob Dylan became one of the most beloved and influential artists on the American musical landscape.In 1964, Dylan wrote "I'm not going to sing just because they want me to". While the sentiment certainly resonates with many of his fans, this begs the question: what brought on this change in attitude?

One of the most interesting moments in Bob Dylan's career came when he left his New York City home and headed west to find a new identity in California. He would eventually become the wild-eyed electric poet of rock 'n' roll.
