Samenvatting: "Hard Rain ranges over thirty years of Bob Dylan's recordings, films, and concerts to deliver astute insights into - and sometimes heretical judgements of - his prodigious corpus of work. This updated edition includes a new epilogue that examines Dylan's thirtieth anniversary celebration in 1992; his albums Good As I Been to You, World Gone Wrong, and Time Out of Mind: his 1997 performance before the Pope; and his Grammy Award-winning comeback."--Jacket.
