But it was not the album now ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the ten best of all time. "When something's not right, it's wrong," as Dylan puts it in "You're Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go"-and something about that original recording led him to a studio in his native Minnesota to re-record five of the songs on that landmark album, including "Idiot Wind" and "Tangled Up in Blue." Six Minnesota musicians sat in on that two-night recording session at Sound 80, bringing their unique sound to some of Dylan's best-known songs-only to have their names left off the album and their contribution unacknowledged for more than forty years. This book tells the story of those two nights in Minneapolis, of the musicians who gave the album so much of its ultimate form and sound, and of their decades-long fight for recognition. Blood in the Tracks takes readers behind the scenes with these "mystery" Minnesota musicians: twenty-one-year-old mandolin virtuoso Peter Ostroushko; drummer Bill Berg and bass player Billy Peterson, the house rhythm section at Sound 80; progressive rock keyboardist Gregg Inhofer; guitarist Chris Weber, who owned The Podium guitar shop in Dinkytown; and Kevin Odegard, whose own career as a singer-songwriter had paralleled Dylan's until he had to take a job as a railroad brakeman to make ends meet. Through in-depth interviews and assiduous research, Paul Metsa and Rick Shefchik trace the twists of fate that brought these musicians together and set them on different paths in its wake: their musical experiences leading up to the December 1974 recording session, the divergent careers that followed, and the painstaking work it took to finally get the official credit that was their due. A rare look at the making-or remaking-of an all-time-great album, and a long overdue acknowledgment of the musicians who helped make it happen, Blood in the Tracks brings to life a transformative moment in the history of rock and roll, for the first time in its true context and with its complete cast of players"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20231204. 650 1 $a Musicians $z Minnesota. 650 $a Sound recordings $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a Popular music $x History. $x History. 650 $a Popular music $x History and criticism. 700 $a Shefchik, Rick, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20240213010328.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=971987E8CA3D11EEB6B0F94039ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
