Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine

The musician, the magician, the master: the definitive opus magnum that all Dylan fans have been waiting for. A book about Bob Dylan like no other, it spans his life and work with never-before-seen photos and artifacts from his private archive. From his childhood in Hibbing, Minnesota, to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature and beyond. This unique text and image volume is generously illustrated and gathers numerous original texts inspired by the artifacts from well-known writers, critics, and artists about Bob Dylan, one of the greatest American musicians. Unique and unparalleled.

More than a musician's autobiography: the private archives of Bob Dylan. A few years ago, it was revealed that a sensational collection of over 6,000 manuscripts by Bob Dylan exists. And where should they be stored? Equally sensational: in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As the official publication of the Bob Dylan Center, "Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine" is the first close-up of the Dylan archive.

The centerpiece of "Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine" is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images, including previously unknown drafts of poems and songs, texts, photos, drawings, and other treasures from the Dylan archive.

A must-have for fans, music enthusiasts, and Dylan scholars. "Mixing Up the Medicine" offers a comprehensive insight into Bob Dylan's private archive: essentially, it consists of documents and interesting objects: drafts of poems and songs, notebooks, and various everyday items kept randomly, as well as thousands of hours of captivating studio and live recordings. This precious collection proves to be one of the most important cultural archives of the present, finding its home in the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in close proximity to the archival home of Dylan's early inspiration, Woody Guthrie. Almost all materials found in the Bob Dylan Center contribute to the fascination and understanding of Dylan's artistic creation.
