(Book). Million Dollar Bash tells for the first time the whole story of the Basement Tapes, recorded in summer 1967 when Bob Dylan's career was at a crossroads. Recovering from a mysterious motorcycle crash, he gathered together a few musician friends in Woodstock, New York, and informally recorded a bunch of songs intended to be heard by no one but themselves. Instead, they changed music forever. In this new book, musician and author Sid Griffin examines the recordings in detail, demonstrating on every page a musician's insight into the Basement Tapes, the men who recorded them, and the times in which they were made. Every Dylan fan needs this book.

3 out of 5 stars '...Sid Griffin points the way forward for future authors... Griffin examines the story in admirably forensic detail, which should leave hardened devotees more than satisfied.' Q, December 2007 --Q, December 2007

'...Griffins informality is light years away from the high-falutin , impressed-with-themselves style that many Dylan scholars feel compelled to use in order to get their point home. As such, he captures the relaxed nature of the Dylan-Band recordings made at Big Pink... As a look into what Griffin posits as Dylans most creative year, its invaluable.'
