Promising new study Of Highway 61 Revisited

Highway 61 Revisited, by Mark Polizzotti, is a new volume in 33 1/3, the dinky little series of album studies published by Continuum, in London and New York. (Continuum are also publishers of Michael Gray’s two major Dylan books.)

I’d been looking out for Polizzotti’s new volume in London bookshops for some months and finally came across a pile at Blackwell's, Charing Cross Rd at the weekend, discounted, like the rest of the series, to £6.

At first glance, it looks like a serious, well-written little volume – one which will demand a few hours’ serious reading. Pleasure in store… review to follow.

Highway 61 Revisited is number 35 in the beautifully designed series which includes monographs on Boomer Icon albums ranging from Neil Young’s Harvest to Led Zep 4, Electric Ladyland to Exile On Main Street.
