Remarkably, this entire period was perhaps the most fastidiously well-documented of his career, with every studio session, every live show, and every single rehearsal recorded on Dylan's behalf. For the first time, that material has been excavated, reviewed, and accessed by, perhaps the world's leading authority on all things Dylan, (\u003cem\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/em\u003e).  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eServing as an invaluable companion to the latest Sony Bootleg Series (November 2017), \u003cem\u003eTrouble in Mind\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book to focus on the life and works of Dylan as a born-again Christian from the perspective of both his artistic growth and the development of his eschatological worldview. It will draw on previously undocumented song drafts, rehearsal tapes, and new interviews with engineers, musicians, and girlfriends.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAside from his definitive biography, \u003cem\u003eDylan Behind the Shades\u003c\/em\u003e (Simon\u0026amp;Schuster, 1991; new edition HarperCollins, 2001), which remains in print more than twenty years after publication, \u003cstrong\u003eClinton Heylin\u003c\/strong\u003e has published multiple books on Dylan.
