Dylan, Bob - Tales From a Golden Age - Bob Dylan - 1941-1966 (2004)

This excellent documentary answers questions some of us have had for 40 years. It is also an excellent compliment to the new Dylan autobiography »Chronicles.«
Bob Dylan was not »born« a legend - he worked hard at becoming one. Most fascinating to me is the fact there was a lot of luck involved in his success. His skills on the harmonica got him a job as a musician on another artist's album; during that job, he got noticed by Columbia records. The Columbia recording contract bought him some time to develop his own style and write his first songs. At the same time, there was a generation of American youth searching for the songs he was about to write.
Buy both the »Chronicles« book and Tales From A Golden Age DVD. Whether you are a Bob Dylan fan or not, you will most likely enjoy seeing how the legend got started.
