August 20th, 2005

For all you music fans out there, on September 26th and 27th, PBS will be airing: American Masters, Bob Dylan: No Direction Home.

The two-part film, which focuses on the singer-songwriter’s life and music from 1961-66, includes never-seen performance footage and interviews with artists and musicians whose lives intertwined with Dylan’s during that time. Dylan talks openly and extensively about this critical period in his career, detailing the journey from his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, to Greenwich Village, New York, where he became the center of a musical and cultural upheaval, the effects of which are still felt today.

“Bob Dylan: No Direction Home, A Martin Scorsese Picture” comes on the heels of Dylan’s best-selling memoir, Chronicles: Volume I, which spent 19 weeks on the New York Times Hardcover Non-Fiction Bestseller list.
