Review

"The Dylan of That Thin, Wild Mercury Sound is not a freak or a throwback or a futurist, a prophet or a conjurer. He is, instead, a young adult becoming a musical professional, learning to collaborate with other musicians to realize his vision and how to stand his ground, too. Daryl Sanders is a diligent researcher and interviewer, driven by his own passion for Dylan's work and the then-ripening Nashville music world that was a near perfect setting for Dylan in 1966. More than the story of making a record album, That Thin, Wild Mercury Sound is about learning the rules of a complicated profession, and then smashing many of them. Several generations of rock singers, musicians, critics, historians, and fans will be grateful for this book. I know I am." —Dave Marsh, author of Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who and Bruce Springsteen on Tour, 1968-2005"That Thin, Wild Mercury Sound unravels the unlikely story of one of folk-rock’s milepost albums with clarity and passion. With eyewitness accounts from the Nashville studio in which it was recorded, Sanders details Blonde on Blonde’s genesis in greater depth than any previous author." —Richie Unterberger, author of Turn! Turn! Turn!: The 1960s Folk-Rock Revolution, Fleetwood Mac: The Complete Illustrated History, and Unknown Legends of Rock ’n’ Roll“Detailed and diligent, Daryl Sanders has played local detective, seemingly digging up every Nashville cat who was in Studio A when Dylan did it his way in 1966, changing country and rock for good.” —Clinton Heylin, author of Trouble in Mind: Bob Dylan’s Gospel Years and Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisited“Major victories like Blonde on Blonde often seem inevitable and easy. But Daryl Sanders has interviewed the survivors, noted the casualties, and pondered the battlefield strategies that conquered a country.” —Daniel Wolff, author of Grown-Up Anger: The Connected Mysteries of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and the Calumet Massacre of 1913 and How Lincoln Learned to Read: Twelve Great Americans and the Education That Made Them"For anyone interested in Dylan or the music of the 1960s. This title deserves the kind of attention received by Greil Marcus's Like a Rolling Stone." —Library Journal "That Thin, Wild Mercury Sound is essential to Dylanologists, but it should also be useful to anyone curious about the way records get made, and, especially, to aspiring performing songwriters yearning to understand what it takes to transform great songs into legendary recordings." ---Chapter 16“If you’re a Bob Dylan fan, you’ll want a copy of That Thin, Wild Mercury Sound on your bookshelf.” —That Devil Music“There are a heck of a lot of Dylan-related books available, but none of them have dug this deep into the making of one of the Scribe’s most creative, critically-acclaimed, and commercially-successful works.” —That Devil Music  Reconstructing events by pouring over decades of interviews, Sanders gives deep background for the Blonde on Blonde sessions, going in detail track by track. Dylanologists will be fascinated by the many pieces Sanders assembles.—Shepherd Express"Sanders’s emphasis on the Nashville cats’ ability to give the right sound to songs that Dylan was literally writing in the studio sheds new light on one of the 20th century’s central cultural artifacts."—Los Angeles Review of Books"This fascinating, delicious book offers great insight into both the minutia of the recording process and Bob Dylan's idiosyncratic, eccentric methods. For songwriters, this book may offer unlimited inspiration. For Dylan fans, it is a must." - Corey Mesler on Memphis Flyer

"I know my thing now. I know what it is. It's hard to describe. I don't know what to call it because I've never heard it." Bob Dylan trying to describe his new music in '65."I didn't know if it was ever gonna be special. Just making electric folk music wasn't enough, it needed to be much more violent than that, and I didn't know whether he would ever get it." Robbie Robertson talking about Dylan after he went electric."But the fact that Dylan came here, I think it sent a message around the folk-rock world that, 'Hey, it's OK to go there. These guys can do this" Charlie McCoy on Nashville musicians after "Blonde On Blonde".For Bob-o-philes and/or fans of the "Blonde On Blonde" album, this is a deep look into both the period just leading up to that album and the songs themselves, recorded mostly in Nashville. There's a prologue that lays out what the book covers, chapters in three parts ("New York City", "Nashville", "Los Angeles and Beyond") laid out in chronological order beginning in 1965, a list of sources, and a section of notes, and an index. There's also 16 pages of period b&w photos from Dylan in '65, early photos of The Hawks, individual photos of the Nashville session musicians, a couple of pages of Dylan's Nashville sessions manuscripts, and a few others interesting photos from that era.This is a book for those who want to delve pretty deeply into the sessions for "Blonde On Blonde". At times you almost get the feel that you're privy to a lot of inside information for the sessions because of the author's research and interviews with so many of the people involved with the album. From a number of the session musicians, to the producers, to studio personnel, and others close to what was happening, the author, Daryl Sanders, has really done his homework when it comes to unearthing and laying out in a coherent way the information surrounding this album. He has also included information from the "Biograph" album notes, Dylan's book "Chronicles", "Rolling Stone" magazine, Heylin's books "Judas", and "Bob Dylan: Behind The Shades Revisited", and other print sources. Together Sanders has compiled the most in depth look into the making of this album.This isn't a book for the more casual Dylan fan--there's a lot of minutia about the various songs and what went down in the studio during the recording sessions. But for those (like me) who feel that this album is one of the best albums of that entire era (and still stands up today) and want to get closer to what went on, this is a deep ride into the making of those songs.From the period of the "Highway 61 Revisited" album which he had finished, to Dylan trying to figure out how to take his new electric sound on the road, to recording most of the songs that would ultimately end up on the album, to the impact the album had on music after it's release, this book covers just about everything you'd want to know about how this album came to fruition.

My love for music tends to stem from the feelings invoked, memories recalled, or the heart-throb quotient of the performer. After reading this book, I’m now enthralled with the process that creates that feeling-inducing, memory-arousing music.Daryl Sanders’ exhaustive research, personal interviews, and practiced journalistic skill bring the 1966 Nashville recording studio alive. His exquisite attention to detail placed me in the middle of those sessions. I watched Dylan’s genius labor over each word and heard the young musicians intuitively transform the sounds inside Dylan’s head into musical perfection – crafting legendary art seemingly on the fly.I’m not even that much of a Bob Dylan fan, but, when I finished the book, I immediately downloaded a few Blonde on Blonde songs. Having witnessed their intimate creation, I listened with a new ear.

Legendary rock scribe Dave Marsh asked author Daryl Sanders: “is this book about Dylan in Nashville? Or is about Nashville and Dylan?” Sanders replied “yes.” ;-)Sanders has written a meticulously researched and well-paced chronicle of the making of rock & roll’s most important album Blonde on Blonde. This album is the reason that Bob Dylan’s biggest competition is always earlier Bob Dylan.The book puts you in the studio with the poet and the pickers who created something entirely new to popular music - great take-by-take insight, balanced with insights into Dylan’s inspiration, from the Bible to Persian poet Omar Khayyam to T.S. Eliot.The author also puts the sessions and the album into their musical and historical context - it was a time when the biggest musicians of the time (Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Joan Baez) connected and shared and grew together.A great read for Dylan fans, rock lovers, liner-note geeks, and folks who want to understand what makes Nashville *Music* City.

Daryl Sanders' That Thin Wild Mercury Sound: Dylan, Nashville, and the Making of Blonde on Blonde is a must read for anyone interested in the evolution of rock music, Bob Dylan, or Nashville's progression beyond standard country fare. Sanders draws on many participants in the Blonde on Blonde sessions for his meticulously reseached book. Dylan changed the world of rock with the release, which was the first double album in rock and the first to feature songs longer than those that would fit on a 45 rpm record. Sanders describes how the young, talented "Nashville Cats'" adapted to the unusual artistic methods of Dylan and how the sessions changed their lives forever. I felt like I had a seat in the corner of the studio when reading the book.Blonde on Blonde changed rock and Nashville forever, and Sanders' telling of the story adds so much to what has previously been legend.
