Six minutes and six seconds in length, Like a rolling stonet was released by Dylan despite the received wisdom of the day as to what constituted a single. Published on the 40th anniversary of its release and recording, Greil Marcus's book reconstructs the context in which the song first appeared, in terms of Dylan's own career (his controversial transformation from folk singer into rock-n-roll singer) and the world at large (Vietnam, the Watts Riots, the burgeoning counter-culture of the time). This is itself the stage for Marcus's recreation of the song on the page - its emergence from fragments, its words, its sound, its discovery of itself. An analysis and critique of an artist at the height of his creative powers
