The complete discography of Bob Dylan - a poet to some, a revolutionary to many, but American musician to all.People have been debating about Bob Dylan for decades. Is he the voice of a generation or an unlistenable voice? There's no question that he is the most revered and influential American songwriter to emerge since 1960. But Dylan's singing voice is another story--at times it's raspy, nasally, unpolished and, more recently, ragged, gravelly, and croaky. For better or worse, the sound of his voice has been as distinctive as his songs. Admirers embrace his voice as wise and knowing, with phrasing that can be either studied or free-wheeling depending on his mood.In 2015, the unpredictable Rock and Roll Hall of Famer threw another curveball by releasing Shadows in the Night, his first-ever collection devoted to the songs associated with another artist, Frank Sinatra. Is this tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes as surprising as when Dylan went electric in 1965 or when he became a Jesus freak in the late 1970s?Dylan: Disc by Disc answers those questions by taking an in-depth look at each of Dylan's thirty-six official studio recordings. Music-industry insiders discuss each album with moderator Jon Bream, the veteran critic from Dylan's home-state newspaper, the Minneapolis Star Tribune.The participants include such music figures as Questlove of the Roots, Rodney Crowell, Jason Isbell, Suzanne Vega, Ric Ocasek of the Cars, Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding), longtime Dylan pal Eric Andersen and Minnesota musicians Tony Glover and Kevin Odegard, both of whom have been in the studio with Dylan. Critics who debated Dylan's discs include Robert Christgau, Anthony DeCurtis, Alan Light, Joe Levy, Holly George-Warren, Joel Selvin, Jim Fusilli, Geoffrey Himes, Charles R. Cross, and David Browne. Other participants include professors from Boston University, Syracuse University, Pomona College, University of Minnesota, Connecticut College, University of Iowa, and San Francisco State; DJs from New York's WNYC and Chicago's WXRT; and museum curators who have put together exhibits on Dylan.Dylan: Disc by Disc is beautifully illustrated with LP art, period photography, and memorabilia, as well as performance and candid offstage photography. The book contains information about the recordings and session musicians and provides context and perspective on Dylan's life, concerts, and career.Dylan: Disc by Disc provides Dylan fans with a compelling, handsome, one-of-a-kind retrospective on a music legend.

Review
"Bream always seems to find the right questions to keep the conversations engaging and, most importantly, inspire debate." - The Brooklyn Rail
"I don't always agree with what these Dylan pundits have to say, but I always enjoyed the conversation. In general, the encyclopedic knowledge of the rock journalists makes for more insightful and articulate criticism than the more sentimental perspectives of the recording artists, but each voice makes its own welcome contribution." - Old Books By Dead Guys Blog
"A gorgeously rendered, gift worthy book with a unique spin on the discography, recommended for public and academic libraries alike" - Booklist
"â?¿a book dominated by insightful commentary from passionate Dylan fans." - The Morton Report
"Heads up on the Christmas gift you will be buying for the Dylan fanatic in your extended family. Jon Bream, long time music scribe for the Mpls. Star Tribune, put together an incredible overview of Dylan's entire catalogue and had two people (scholars, musicians, critics, etc.) discuss each record (36 slabs of wax.) In hardcover, the layout and collection of photos are superb and the insights are incredibly insightful, funny, and superb. I was honored to discuss Under the Red Sky with Motor City music writer Gary Graff. A wonderful compendium of opinions about a man everybody has an opinion about. Kudos all the way around." - Paul Metsa, songwriter and musician

By Edward Gubman An engrossing, comprehensive and very readable journey through Dylan's recording career. It really helped me put the poet into a framework by giving me an understanding of how his albums relate to each other and to his changing persona through time. I have not followed his latest efforts that closely but this book made me want to go listen to them (except that last album of standards-my goodness). This is a must for any Dylan fan and for any serious fan of pop culture.

Rock journalist Jon Bream’s “Dylan Disk by Disk” book is an awesome gift for the Bob Dylan fan By Stephen Pate When Jon Bream’s Dylan: Disc by Disc arrived by mail I knew instinctively it was a great book and even better gift.I was so excited my wife said “Hold that feeling and write a story. It’s Christmas after all and people are looking for great gifts for you Dylan fans.”My initial enthusiasm was fostered by the quality of the book, its size look and feel. Dylan: Disc by Disc is a discussion album by album of Bob Dylan’s 36 studio recordings with album artwork and great photographs by Landy, Cohen and others. From “Bob Dylan” to “Shadows in the Night” the studio albums are all here.Jon Bream, the music journalist at the Minneapolis Star, invited two Dylan critics, songwriters and other musicians to discuss each album. Altogether 55 people contributed to the album-by-album discussion. Richie Unterberger, a frequent contributor to ALLMUSIC, wrote the introductions to each record.Bream is a grounded rock journalist who avoids either slavish fandom or vitrolic criticism of artists. He has that American mid-western sensibility many of us consider balanced. John Bream has seen a lot of music in his 40+ year career at the Star Tribune.It’s always helpful to remember that Dylan is a fellow Minnesotan and shares the same roots and sensibilities. Bream brings that balanced sensibility to the total body of Bob Dylan’s work, certainly an ambitious and perilous journey. Dylan has being nothing if not prolific but also uneven at times. He is the artist.Many critics, people of lesser talent, find it necessary to heap scorn on great artists when they see lapses in their output. Bream wisely avoids tacking his boat in that direction.The articles inform, provide new insights and encourage us to re-hear the music again. I started a thoroughly enjoyable project of reading a chapter then listening to the album with quality headphones which brings out interesting nuances I had forgotten. Then I go back the Bream’s book to scran the chapter again. This will take many enjoyable months.Who is this book for? Dylan: Disc by Disc will be enjoyed by any and all Dylan fans because it takes us back to the music. At $30 retail ($21 on Amazon.com) it’s a stocking stuffer, a birthday gift or whatever gift you want to call it. If no one takes the hint, buy it for yourself.It is the perfect large format without being huge. Feels great in your hands.Compared to the 100+ other Dylan books I’ve read, I rank it in the top 10 for being entertaining and informative. Highly recommended.Jon had his publisher send a review copy of the book and I thank him. He interviewed me several years ago and got the admission I listen to some Dylan music every day.Dylan: Disc by Disc is available from Amazon.com, .ca, co.uk and .de.Also available in Kindle although I think Kindle does not deliver the same experience with a book this gorgeous.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Dylanologists' cocktail party By Karl Janssen Music critic Jon Bream’s 2015 book Dylan: Disc by Disc presents a series of discussions of each of Bob Dylan’s 36 studio albums. Each chapter consists of a track list, a roster of musicians who played on the album, a brief description by Bream detailing the circumstances surrounding the creation of the work, and a discussion, moderated by Bream, between two commentators. The interviewees in this latter category run the gamut from rock critics, Dylan biographers, university professors, and musicians, some of whom played with Dylan and some of whom are just ardent fans.I wouldn’t call these discussions debates, because for the most part both parties are heaping adulation upon the Almighty Bob. They may get critical about some of the nitty gritty details, but it seems Bream selected most of the commentators based on their personal affinity for the particular disc they’re discussing. Only a few albums emerge scathed from this lovefest: the 1973 leftovers collection simply titled Dylan, and the late ‘80s duds Knocked Out Loaded and Down in the Groove. I developed a love for Dylan late in life and own about half of his albums. My taste in his work doesn’t always conform to the usual ranked list of his best albums, so it was great to read others praising some of my underappreciated favorites, like Modern Times, Street-Legal, or Saved. Reading about the albums that I’m unfamiliar with was also quite educational and got me to think about purchasing several albums that I might not have previously considered buying. In either case, the commentary also includes informative details and insightful perspective on the writing and production of the songs. Dylan: Disc by Disc does exactly what a book like this should do—inspires an enthusiasm and respect for its subject. In fact, it makes we want to go out and buy another ten Dylan albums.I don’t always agree with what these Dylan pundits have to say, but I always enjoyed the conversation. In general, the encyclopedic knowledge of the rock journalists makes for more insightful and articulate criticism than the more sentimental perspectives of the recording artists, but each voice makes its own welcome contribution. Reading this book is like attending a cocktail party of Dylan aficionados and overhearing conversations between people like musicians Suzanne Vega and Ric Ocasek, Kansas City DJ Bill Shapiro, and Rolling Stone editor David Browne. The chapters are relatively short and addictive, giving an informal feel to the book that resembles a series of magazine articles, like what you might find in a “Special Collector’s Edition” on Dylan that Rolling Stone or MOJO might put out.I consider myself a big fan of Dylan, but I don’t consider myself an expert, so I can’t say for sure whether a diehard Dylanologist would gain a lot of new insight from this book. It’s hard for me to believe, however, that any fan wouldn’t enjoy this appreciation of the master’s body of work. When in doubt, buy the inexpensive ebook edition. It may not have as many photos as the attractively designed print version, but it’s definitely worth the price.
