Jackie Hayden releases Bob Dylan ebook

Love And Theft? -Bob Dylan's Celtic Odyssey is the brand new ebook from Jackie Hayden, former Hot Press contributing editor and the author behind the best-selling My Boy: The Philip Lynott Story.
The book traces the origins of the British and Irish songs that featured in Dylan’s repertoire or inspired his own songs, and along the way explodes the myth that Dylan “went electric” at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. 
Hayden also examines Dylan's relationships with artists as revered as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, U2, Van Morrison and others who have performed, written and recorded with him during his prolific career. 
Not only that, Hot Press has given special permission for the use in the book of a 1985 interview conducted by Bono with Dylan for the magazine.
The Irish author recently spent a month in Sweden as a “writer-in-residence” and Love And Theft? -Bob Dylan's Celtic Odyssey was launched there as an ebook for Amazon Kindle as a special event in the State library in Tranas. 
It is now available for Kindle download on Amazon at $7.49.
According to Hayden, “Dylan was enormously influenced by the music from the Celtic nations, but to date most of the credit has been given only to The Clancy Brothers and Martin Carthy. Yet the influence of British and Irish music and musicians on Dylan’s work goes way beyond those two significant artists. His repertoire contained many Irish songs, including ‘Eileen Aroon’ and ‘The Auld Triangle’.”
