Positively 4th Street is a mesmerizing account of how four young people (Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mimi Baez Farina, and Richard Farina) gave rise to a modern-day bohemia and created the enduring sound and style of the 1960s.

Good book, unfortunate reading
Revisado: 02-17-23
Although I don't agree that Bernadette Dunne's reading of Positively 4th Street ruins the book in its entirety, her choices are genuinely unfortunate.
Her Dylan voice is absurd and that's being nice about it.
Dunne's reading of other quoted persons in the book are also in affected tones but halfhearted ones. None match the patronizing affect she places on the Dylan voice, with the possible exception of the insulting Italian-American dialect she attempts when quoting an Italian restaurant owner.
None of these voices are required by the book itself, which has all the written conventions of ", he said" and "she said" that a reader needs to distinguish the quotes.
All that said, if you're interested in this period of American music, David Hajdu's book is a seminal addition to the record.
