Forever Young Photographs Of Bob Dylan

In August 1964, twentyoneyearold photographer Douglas R. Gilbert, on assignment for Look magazine, photographed an upandcoming folk singer named Bob Dylan. Just twentythree years old, Dylan had already composed a striking body of work, including Blowin in the Wind, yet he himself was still relatively unknown. All that was about to change. For more than a week, Gilbert photographed a surprisingly open Bob Dylan, smiling and relaxed among friends like musician John Sebastian and poet Allen Ginsberg. To Gilbert s dismay, Look deemed Dylan s appearance too scruffy for a family magazine, and the images remained unpublished and unseen, until now. Featuring veteran music journalist Dave Marsh s insightful text, Forever Young unforgettably captures a pivotal time in Bob Dylan s extraordinary careerthe time when he began transforming not just folk but all of popular music.
