American Made Music Dylan in Cincinnati, (Hardcover)

<i>Dylan in Cincinnati </i>takes a fresh approach to Bob Dylan's performance art by asking what happens when we focus on a single city across six decades. <p>When we think of Dylan in concert, we imagine Newport, New York, or London. But most of his shows were in places far from the spotlight--venues largely ignored by music critics and scholars. Cincinnati, a city with little fanfare in the heart of the American Midwest, becomes an ideal site for study. Its concerts and bootleg recordings tell a story of reinvention night after night, year after year. </p><p>This history requires planting a shovel in one locale and digging down, layer after layer. What emerges is a portrait of Dylan as a restless itinerant artist who never abandoned audiences in flyover states. In fact, some of his strongest performances were given there. By recovering these overlooked shows, <i>Dylan in Cincinnati</i> documents not only the history of one city's concerts but also the essence of Dylan's enduring power as a live performer.</p>
