Paul Williams is Ireland's most respected crime journalist and true crime author. A qualified criminologist he has won a number of major journalism awards for his investigative work for "The Sunday World," He has been responsible for a string of major exposes about John Gilligan, his gang and the murder of Veronica Guerin. Williams is the international bestselling author of "Gangland "and" The General "which was made into a major motion picture by director John Boorman.
A long-time chronicler of the rock music scene, Williams is the founder of Crawdaddy! , the first rock music magazine, and author of over a dozen books, including Dylan: What Happened? (1979) about Dylan's Christian conversion. Here he takes a unique approach to the study of one of our most important popular music figures by assessing Dylan as a performing artist. He bases his study on over 60 Dylan concerts that he attended as well as numerous bootleg concert tapes and studio recordings. Through his insightful analysis he weaves biographical facts and threads of research which, unfortunately, he leaves undocumented. His book's special value is its commentary on recorded performances readers will never hear; it thus provides an important addition to the voluminous analysis of Dylan. Volume 2 is due in 1991; this volume is recommended for music libraries and larger collections.
