About A Girl
Bringing women out from the shadows of music history. Familiar characters, new perspectives.
Carolyn Dennis & Bob Dylan
The gospel-fed daughter of one of Ray Charles’s Raelettes had no idea who this Bob Dylan character was when she was called to audition for his band. Within a few years, she would be his wife and mother to his daughter—both of them hidden from the public, as Dylan converted to Christianity and tried to find his identity as a man and as an artist.
