Overview
It was in late 1961, photographer Ted Russell recalls, that he first heard about an ""up-and-coming young fellow who was coming out with his first album."" A freelance photographer on the lookout for good subjects, Russell was intrigued by a rave review from The New York Times of the raw-voiced folk singer. Russell's subject was a twenty-year-old Bob Dylan, a young folk singer whom nobody knew, and Russell photographed Dylan in 1962. Bob Dylan: NYC 1961-1964 is a window into the singer/songwriter who would go on to become one of America's greatest musical treasures: the book contains photos Dylan in his tiny Greenwich Village apartment, writing and practicing; snuggling with girlfriend Suze Rotolo, who later makes an visually iconic appearance on the cover of Dylan's album Freewheelin' Bob Dylan; and performing at celebrated folk club Gerde's. Bob Dylan: NYC 1961-1964 is an important chronicle of the days just prior to Bob Dylan's celebrity, and is the perfect gift for both Dylan and rock history fans.

Reviews
Photographer Ted Russell met Dylan virtually right off the turnip truck - when Bob arrived in Greenwich Village in 1961 with a cherubic face and a toothy smile - and caught key moments in the singer's rise to stardom. The gems here are pre-fame candids (many previously unseen) of Dylan off-stage and on, his girlfriend Suze Rutolo, and others on the burgeoning NYC folk scene. -American Photo This new hardcover of never-before-published photos gives a charming peep into Dylan's life before he belonged to the world. -CoolHunting.com
