當攝影師Daniel Kramer初次見到巴布狄倫的時候,巴布狄倫不過是個年僅23歲、出道沒幾年的歌手,在鏡頭前還顯得侷促緊張,誰也不知道,未來的某一天,巴布狄倫會成為音樂史上的傳奇人物。
Daniel貼身跟著巴布狄倫記錄下這位音樂傳奇在巡迴演唱過程中,在舞台上、後台邊的種種,包括與音樂戀人Joan Baez演唱的側拍畫面,以及與Johnny Cash、美國現代詩人艾倫金斯堡等好友們互動的靈光瞬間。內含將近200張影像,其中許多照片從未曝光,這些當年的吉光片羽,無疑也是一向神祕的巴布狄倫音樂事業走向國際版圖的重要紀錄。

Daniel Kramer''s classic Bob Dylan portfolio captures the artist''s transformative "big bang" year of 1964-65. Over the course of a year and a day, Kramer''s extraordinary access to Bob Dylan on tour, in concert, and backstage, allowed for one of the most mesmerizing photographic portfolios of any recording artist and a stunning document of Dylan breaking through to superstardom.
Highlights include the Lincoln Center''s Philharmonic Hall concert with Joan Baez; the Bringing It All Back Home recording sessions; and the now-famous concert at Forest Hills, when Dylan''s controversial transition to electric guitar exemplified his constant, cryptic state of becoming. As much a document of a seminal period of rock ''n'' roll history as of Dylan himself, the pictures also feature such compelling friends and collaborators as Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Allen Ginsberg, and Albert Grossman.Bob Dylan: A Year and a Day presents a curated selection of nearly 200 images, including outtakes from the Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited album cover shoots. Previously published by TASCHEN as a signed Collector''s Edition, this standard edition is the more affordable boon to any serious photography or Dylan fan. With stories throughout the book by Kramer, this is at once an intimate and evocative testament to a seminal photographer, to a particular point in time, and to an exceptional, mysterious artist at the moment his career went global.First published as a TASCHEN Collector''s Edition, now available as an affordable, compact edition
