About the Author Keith Nainby is professor of communication studies at California State University, Stanislaus.
The full scope of Dylan\'s body of work to date is situated in terms of the influences that have shaped his performances and the ways these performances have shaped contemporary popular music.
Special consideration is given to his vocal performances and to his use of particular personae as a performer.
His uses of both Stage and studio to shape his performances are explored, as are his forays into cinema.
Chapters focus on the relationship of Dylan\'s recorded performances to the historical bardic role, to the American popular Song tradition, and to rock music culture.
