INTRODUCTION
After two years of extensive song writing the pace slows down.
More and more of Dylan's interest in writing shifts away from song lyrics
first to poems, then to prose. In a number of interviews he talks about a
novel and also about several plays. None of these have however seen the
light of day. One recording session in June results in his fourth and
last solo album, ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN.
