Music historian Elijah Wald talks with music journalist Amanda Petrusich about his new book, Dylan Goes Electric!
The moment when Bob Dylan stepped on stage at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and roared into “Like a Rolling Stone” stands as one of the defining moments in music history. Join us and American folk blues guitarist and music historian Elijah Wald as we present a special conversation on Dylan’s music and Elijah’s new book, Dylan Goes Electric!: Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night that Split the Sixties.
