Dylan -- who was editing a dramatic movie based on his life, even as his life seemed to be falling apart -- told Rosenbaum there was a sound he was after that he'd only come close to on one record so far. The sound, he told Rosenbaum, was of \"thin, wild mercury.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a book that captures the elusive mercurial artist and his work in a way no other has -- a vivid, compelling pursuit of Dylan, successively a hipster folkie, a Greenwich Village sparkplug of a cultural revolution, who plugged into an amplifier to drive away folkie solemnity, then became a countrified crooner, the man who, just months after Rosenbaum's interview, became a fire-breathing, proselytizing Christian . . . before returning to being a non-religious Jew. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat was behind it all, Rosenbaum asks, and how can we understand him through his lyrics? Tracing it from Dylan's childhood -- when his father hired a Brooklyn rabbi to come to remote Minnesota to prepare his son for his bar mitzvah -- through the still touring singer's late, often inscrutable lyrics, Rosenbaum probes Dylan's \"argument with God,\" his differentiation between authenticity and sincerity, and his relentless heretical stances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOf course, complicating matters for anyone trying to trace the development of Dylan and his life's work is Dylan's recurrent denial of the continuity of self.

These blemishes can invoke authenticity or persona, signal his social commitments, and betray his political shortcomings.

Rings charts the histories audible in Dylan's harmonica as well as piano, which has been central to his music making since his earliest days of imitating Little Richard in his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota. Finally, Rings guides readers through one of Dylan's most famous songs, \"A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall,\" analyzing its musical sources as well as variations in live performances.
