Review
"[I]t is gratifying to discover how substantive and compelling music journalist Cott's...selections are." Booklist
Review
"In an irresistible new anthology....Arranged chronologically, these interviews vary wildly. That accounts for much of their cumulative appeal. A lot depends upon who was asking the questions and how combative or cooperative Mr. Dylan happened to be feeling." Janet Maslin, New York Times
