Where the Music Had To Go: How Bob Dylan and the Beatles Changed Each Other
McCartney first called Dylan folk crap. Windolf traces what happened next, when each act kept pushing the other somewhere neither would have gone alone.
Windolf traces the mutual influence between Dylan and the Beatles from first contact through the mid-sixties, when each act pushed the other somewhere neither would have reached alone. Detailed enough that serious fans still learn from it, and good on the awkward early exchanges, including what McCartney privately called Dylan music before he changed his mind.

An excellent and engaging book, which even serious fans can learn from. The first time Paul McCartney heard the music of Bob Dylan he called it “folk crap,” to his brother Mike.
