Dylan Goes Electric!: Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties
內容簡介
《Dylan Goes Electric!》——改編電影《巴布狄倫:搖滾詩人》(A Complete Unknown) 由甜茶主演
世界知名的音樂評論家,以全新視角重新審視迪倫在新港民謠音樂節「改用電吉他」的那一天。
1965年7月25日晚上,Bob Dylan(鮑勃·迪倫)在新港民謠音樂節的舞台上,帶著一支插電樂隊演奏他的搖滾新曲《Like a Rolling Stone》。在場的觀眾——包括堅定的民謠純粹主義者與政治活動家,曾將迪倫視為民謠的聲音與時代的預言家——對此表現出震驚,有人噓聲四起,也有零星的掌聲響起。這是震撼全球的一擊——迪倫宣布音樂獨立的時刻,象徵著民謠復興的結束與搖滾作為一代人聲音的誕生,也是20世紀音樂史上的決定性時刻之一。
在《Dylan Goes Electric!》中,Elijah Wald 深入探討了這一關鍵事件的文化、政治與歷史背景,展現了那充滿變革的六〇年代。作者從民謠復興的興起、搖滾的崛起,以及傳統音樂與創新音樂之間的張力出發,揭示迪倫的藝術演變過程。他探討迪倫對藍調的特殊偏愛、與民謠圈及其導師彼得·西格(Pete Seeger)之間的複雜關係,以及迪倫如何永遠改變流行音樂的方式。
這本書對於我們以為熟知的故事提出全新見解,對新港民謠音樂節的爭議事件作出了深刻且銳利的評價,同時提供細緻且具挑戰性的分析,解釋其為何如此重要。
「在這場精彩的力作中,Elijah Wald 將新港世代交替的簡化神話複雜化,並公正地呈現了他所謂 Bob Dylan 的『獨立宣言』……這是我讀過的音樂人捍衛自身榮譽的最佳記述之一。」
——托德·吉特林(Todd Gitlin),《The Sixties》和《Occupy Nation》作者
One of the music world’s pre-eminent critics takes a fresh and much-needed look at the day Dylan “went electric” at the Newport Folk Festival, timed to coincide with the event’s fiftieth anniversary.
On the evening of July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival, backed by an electric band, and roared into his new rock hit, Like a Rolling Stone. The audience of committed folk purists and political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet reacted with a mix of shock, booing, and scattered cheers. It was the shot heard round the world—Dylan’s declaration of musical independence, the end of the folk revival, and the birth of rock as the voice of a generation—and one of the defining moments in twentieth-century music.
In Dylan Goes Electric!, Elijah Wald explores the cultural, political and historical context of this seminal event that embodies the transformative decade that was the sixties. Wald delves deep into the folk revival, the rise of rock, and the tensions between traditional and groundbreaking music to provide new insights into Dylan’s artistic evolution, his special affinity to blues, his complex relationship to the folk establishment and his sometime mentor Pete Seeger, and the ways he reshaped popular music forever. Breaking new ground on a story we think we know, Dylan Goes Electric! is a thoughtful, sharp appraisal of the controversial event at Newport and a nuanced, provocative, analysis of why it matters.
