Observations On His Art-In-Progress
'Watching the River Flow' is an outstanding collection of Dylan-related essays by Paul Williams, the noted US editor and critic, opening with his 1966 review of 'Blonde On Blonde' and closing with his observations about Dylan's 1995 tour with Patti Smith.
All of the high-watermarks in Dylan's career are analysed by Williams in his captivating, very personal style. A highlight of this book is 'Dylan - What Happened', Paul Williams' lengthy essay on the events leading to Dylan's religious conversion in the late-Seventies and its immediate effect on his art.
