Bob Dylan shouldn’t just be associated with New York, but also London and this book makes the case for that.īeing a classic rock enthusiast and Anglophile, I had to read this book! Since I don’t do things the typical way, I’ll be writing a review and a 10 things I learnt Buzzfeed like thing sharing the main takeaways from the book like I did for Decoding Dylan. While Bob Dylan spent way less time in London than he did in New York, London was more of an impact and he was like a sponge there, absorbing all sorts of information and influences there. It’s a city that has something for everyone: whether you like history, architecture, music, theatre, literature, food, shopping, museums, whatever! As someone who has travelled quite a bit (and misses it a lot! thanks a lot COVID!), I highly recommend everyone to visit London. I know people from London who say that they haven’t seen everything in their own city. Leaving London, I was so sad because it’s such an incredible city: one where I’m never bored and I can always find something new that I haven’t seen before – there aren’t a lot of cities that I can say that about: definitely not any other city in the UK since a lot of them you can see in about a day or two. I remember being 15 years old and watching The Boat That Rocked in the cinema and eagerly looking forward to visiting London. London is a city I’ve been to a bunch of times (like 7 times I think? I’ve honestly lost track) and it’s so magical to me and a city I always end up coming back to. I write a whole blog on classic rock, we’d all hope that that’s something I’m passionate about.

It’s always important to be honest to my readers and I will always let you know if I get any free albums or books in PR.Īnyone who knows me knows that I love two things a lot, classic rock and London. I of course said yes, and I got a press copy of the book. I was contacted and asked if I would like to review Bob Dylan in London: Troubadour Tales by Jackie Lees and KG Miles. 2021 for The Diversity of Classic Rock is starting off strong and I’m always happy to review any classic rock related books and music for the blog.
