Booklist - 03/01/2011 These days Dylan is hardly an Everyman, but the story of his youth is filled with the kind of alienation and passion that young readers know better than anyone. Growing up in Minnesota as Bob Zimmerman, the future superstar dreamed of joining the voices of Muddy Waters and Hank Williams that he heard on the radio, when all he saw around him were small-business owners and miners. But no one spoke to him like folksinger Woody Guthrie. Hearing that Guthrie lay sick in a New York hospital, Dylan hitched a ride, got in to see his hero, and played a few songs. The rest is music history. Golio excels at portraying Zimmerman’s angst as he flounders for meaning and even invents for himself a more colorful backstory. Burckhardt’s acrylics have the fractured look of damaged paintings, and what they lack in energy they make up for in gravity and emotion. Back matter, including quotation sources, is superb. A stirring introduction to two music legends. - Copyright 2011 Booklist.
