Bob Dylan Announces New Book The Philosophy of Modern Song.

Bob Dylan has announced his first book of new writing since 2004’s Chronicles: Volume One. The new collection is called The Philosophy of Modern Song and it’s out Tuesday, November 8. 

According to a press release, Dylan began working on The Philosophy of Modern Song in 2010. The book contains over 60 essays that Dylan wrote about songs by artists including Stephen Foster, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, and Nina Simone. Dylan 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".
