The songs of Bob Dylan contain hundreds of references to geographical places and historical landmarks that inspired his music and songwriting.
This interactive app for iPad and iPhone puts these places on a map and offers a new and refreshing approach to the work of one of the most influential figures in popular music.
Have you ever wondered where Ashtabula, Brownsville or Delacroix is? Or where «Tangled Up In Blue» was recorded? Or what the story is behind musical landmarks like «Where the Southern crosses the Yellow Dog» or «Twelfth Street & Vine»? Then jump right into this journey from the great north woods to the streets of New York Town and beyond. You never know, maybe you end up visiting that mystical intersection at 56th and Wabasha!
