   • bioText: Helen Mirren, born Helen Mironov of Russian-English parentage, is one of
     the best-known and most-respected actresses in Britain and America. In a career
     that spans stage, screen and television, she has become renowned for tackling
     challenging roles and has won many awards for her powerful and versatile
     performances.
     She began her career with the National Youth Theatre in 1965 in a performance
     that resulted in her discovery. Two years later she was invited to join the
     Royal Shakespeare Company and starred in a number of highly regarded
     productions. In 1972 she joined renowned director Peter Brook's Theatre Company
     and toured the world.
     Her film career began in the late 1960s with Michael Powell's Age of
     Consent, but her breakthrough role was in John Mackenzie's The Long Good
     Friday. Her performance saw critics hailing a major new screen star. She
     earned her first Academy Award nomination for her performance in The Madness
     of King George and her second for her role in Gosford Park. She was
     nominated for a Golden Globe for Calendar Girls. Her most recent and
     celebrated role was as Elizabeth II in The Queen, for which she won a
     Golden Globe, a BAFTA and an Academy Award as Best Actress.
     In the early 1990s, Helen starred in the Emmy and BAFTA award-winning television
     series Prime Suspect, in which she starred as Detective Chief Inspector
     Jane Tennison. The final Prime Suspect was released in 2006, bringing
     this iconic role to its conclusion, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe for
     Best Actress. Her television roles have won her a string of awards, most
     recently in 2006, for her performance as Elizabeth I, for which she won a Golden
     Globe and an Emmy for Best Actress.
     Helen Mirren is married to the American film director Taylor Hackford. She
     became a Dame of the British Empire in 2003.

shortDescription

The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan's first book of new writing since 2004's Chronicles: Volume One—and since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. The audio is narrated by an all-star lineup including Bob Dylan, Jeff Bridges, Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, Oscar Isaac, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Sissy Spacek, Alfre Woodard, Jeffrey Wright, and Renée Zellweger!
Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan's unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial,...

fullDescription

The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan's first book of new writing since 2004's Chronicles: Volume One—and since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. The audio is narrated by an all-star lineup including Bob Dylan, Jeff Bridges, Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, Oscar Isaac, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Sissy Spacek, Alfre Woodard, Jeffrey Wright, and Renée Zellweger!
Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan's unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work's transcendence.

In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years, and like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement.
