AUTHOR: SHEPARD, SAM, 1943-

Title: Rolling Thunder Logbook

New York: Penguin Books, 1978, c1977.

Description: 184 p.: ill., ports; 26 cm.

Notes: Dylan asked New York playright Shepard to travel with the 1975 Rolling Thunder Review tour of the northeastern US, to write a screenplay for a film. It soon became evident that the eventual Renaldo and Clara would be primarily improvised, so there was little need for a scriptwriter. Shepard stayed on and ended up writing this book instead, his diary of the tour, told with style and wit, including poems, script excerpts, and great pictures of the tour.

Subjects: Dylan, Bob, 1941-; Rolling Thunder Revue
