   Modern Song in 2010. The book contains over 60 essays that Dylan wrote about   
   songs by artists including Stephen Foster, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, and   
   Nina Simone. “[Dylan]    
   analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition   
   of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass   
   relates to heavy metal,” according to the press release.

   “The publication of Bob Dylan’s kaleidoscopically brilliant work will be   
   an international celebration of songs by one of the greatest artists of our   
   time. The Philosophy of    
   Modern Song could only have been written by Bob Dylan. His voice is unique,   
   and his work conveys his deep appreciation and understanding of songs, the   
   people who bring those songs to life, and what songs mean to all of us.”   
                   excellent news! it's sure to be a fascinating book! no doubt   
   about that!
