Dylan Goes Electric! by Elijah Wald
Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties
A revisionist, carefully researched account of the moment when a celebrated folk singer shocked his audience by plugging in, tracing the musical, cultural and personal forces that produced the famous electric performance and the furious backlash that followed; the book disentangles myth from fact, places the episode in the wider context of the 1960s folk and rock scenes, and shows how that pivotal shift reshaped popular music and public perceptions of authenticity.
