This is simply a very good songbook, containing all songs from two of Dylan's most highly rated early albums and two of his best albums recorded in the eighties. All songs are transcribed with lyrics, melody, basic chordal accompaniment, a bass line and some short riffs/ intros. Simple chord boxes are also provided for guitar players, though if you want all the correct tunings and capo positions you will have to look elsewhere. A minor quibling is that, as in most Dylan songbooks, there are one or two instances where they got the key wrong (only 'Desolation Row' I think in this one), but overall it's all very solid. Also solid, and not unimportant, is the binding, so that the pages do not start to come loose after some use, as I've experienced with other songbooks. So if you want to play or sing some of Dylan's wonderful songs, you can't go wrong with this one. It also perfectly complements the other songbook called "The Songs of Bob Dylan".
