The Story Of Bob Dylan & The Band
The Story Of Bob Dylan & The Band
Features exclusive new interviews with Garth Hudson, Ronnie Hawkins,
band producer John Simon & tour drummer Mickey Jones
In
1966 Bob Dylan began his first electric world tour. It was a landmark
moment, both for Dylan and for the history of rock music, and it
bitterly divided his audience.
Backing
Dylan on stage was an obscure group of Canadian musicians collectively
known as The Hawks. In the months following the tour they would join
Dylan during a lengthy convalescence in New York's Catskill Mountains;
when both parties re-emerged, Dylan had undergone an artistic
transformation that sent ripples across American music and The Hawks
had become simply 'The Band', one of the most important recording
groups of their generation.
This
is the story of the relationship between Dylan and The Band, the
legendary amateur recordings that they made together in Woodstock,
their re-invention of American music and their continued albeit
sporadic relationship during the 1970s.
Featuring
new interviews with Garth Hudson; Band producer John Simon; The Hawks'
66 tour drummer, Mickey Jones; the man who assembled and tutored the
Hawks and from whom they took their name, Ronnie Hawkins; Dylan
guitarist, Charlie McCoy; Band biographer Barney Hoskyns; Basement
Tapes Archivist, Sid Griffin, Isis magazine's Derek Barker and Rolling
Stone's Anthony De Curtis.
Also
features rare footage, archive interviews, seldom seen photographs and
the music that changed the world, all at once making for the finest
program on this element of Bob Dylan and The Band's respective and
communal careers yet to emerge.
