A new, updated edition of MOJO’s best-selling guide to Bob Dylan’s albums, songs, films and books.

When Bob Dylan inked a deal with Columbia Records back in 1961, many people found the label’s decision to sign a middle-class white boy, styling himself as a careworn blues and folk singer, faintly absurd. Yet within a few years, young Dylan would be hailed as a prophet and revolutionise music in ways few could ever have dared to imagine.

Bob’s appeal was cemented by his visionary lyrics, and the images and wisdom they contain have given fans and scholars plenty to muse upon for the last 55 years. Meanwhile, music has flowed from him like an unstoppable river, each new phase delivering more timeless classics, whether it’s his 1960s protest LPs (The Freewheelin’, The Times They Are A-Changin’), his controversial ‘electric’ period (Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited), inventing Americana (John Wesley Harding, The Basement Tapes), his 1970s singer-songwriter masterpieces (New Morning, Blood On The Tracks), the ‘religious’ albums (Slow Train Coming, Saved) or his triumphant 1990s comeback (Time Out Of Mind) and beyond to this century’s rich pickings (Tempest, Rough And Rowdy Ways).

With such a vast body of music to his name – Dylan released his 40th studio album, Shadow Kingdom, in 2023 – fans new and old have a huge amount of Bob to navigate. This task is made even more challenging by the parallel universe of his ever-growing Bootleg Series of studio outtakes and live recordings, now stretching to 18 volumes.

Which is where Bob Dylan Essentials comes in: written by MOJO’s team of experts, this sumptuous 132-page bookazine is designed to guide you through the maze of Dylan material out there, album by album, shedding new light on Bob’s songcraft and musicianship, and pulling no punches when it comes to determining what’s indispensable, enjoyable, worth serious investigation or simply warrants a cursory spin. We also look at Dylan-related films and documentaries, and recommend the very finest in Bob literature.

Illustrated with album artwork and rare and iconic photographs, Bob Dylan Essentials 2026 is a must-have for all music fans.
