Rights to Sean Egan’s new book have gone to Jawbone Press.
2025 marks sixty years since his annus mirabilis; the year when Bob Dylan changed popular music and the world forever.
By telling the story of Bob Dylan’s first calendar decade as a recording artist, one crucial in setting the template for his genius and encompassing the bulk of his influence and greatest work, this book will provide a unique angle on an endlessly fascinating career.
Decade of Dissent will seek to bring to life Dylan and his milieu at that point where he was making music that was not merely aesthetically magnificent but sociologically earthshaking. Sean Egan has interviewed, down the years, many of Dylan’s associates from this period, much to this day unpublished including Roger McGuinn (The Byrds), Eric Burdon (The Animals), Tom McGuinness (Manfred Mann).
All during this time he was engaged in a personal voyage that saw him first embrace the blandishments of fame and then emphatically reject them.
Sean Egan has been working as a freelance journalist, author and editor since 1993 and is the author has authored Rod Stewart: The Classic Years; The Clash on the Clash; The Mammoth Book of Bob Dylan; and Rough Guide to the Rolling Stones.
The book publishes on May 20, 2025. Pre-order here.
