Bob Dylan all alone on a shelf - No. 2 Series Editor: Ed Ricardo Shake, Rattle and Rain Popular Music in Manchester, 1955-1995 C P Lee All roads lead to Rome, but in this book they lead to Manchester, specifically its music scene. C P Lee, author of 'Like the Night: Bob Dylan and the road to the Manchester Free Trade Hall', charts the emergence and development of a phenomenon that has brought the world artists and performers such as 10cc, Inspiral Carpets, John Mayall, New Order, Oasis, Simply Red and The Smiths, to name but a few. Combining oral history and personal observation, this book provides an invaluable insight into what has made Manchester such an innovative creative music centre over the last five decades - from Beat clubs to the Hacienda, from Music Force to Factory Records, the Summer of Love and beyond. It includes a chapter putting Bob Dylan into the context of the Manchester music scene and fits the needs of the series Bob Dylan all alone on a shelf by providing the kind of background on Manchester that will attract anyone interested in Bob Dylan's early years. CP Lee is a lecturer in Cultural Studies in the School of Media, Music & Performance at the University of Salford. Before that he was a founder member of Mancunian Rock iconoclasts Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias. He has written two books on Bob Dylan, published by Helter Skelter, and numerous articles on a variety of other topics for magazines and other media.
