The Official Bob Dylan Thread


Recommended Posts

That's what I was thinking. I bet it's some sort of story song.

 

Ain't Talkin' was pretty long too, but it was no Highlands. that's a great tune.

 

so is this going to be dylan's answer to gordon lightfoot's wreck of the edmund fitzgerald? :)

Bob Dylan Tempest Tracklist, Release Date

 

July 17, 2012

bob-dylan-tempest-tracklist.jpegBob Dylan announced today that his 35th studio album, Tempest, will be released this fall on September 11, 2012. Lining up with the 50th anniversary of his 1962 self-titled debut, Dylan produced the new 10-track set himself, going by the production moniker he’s used on all LPs since 2001′s Love and Theft, Jack Frost. While the announcement makes no mention of a rumored 14-minute song about the Titanic, a scan through the tracklist suggests “Soon After Midnight” (the time Captain Edward Smith made the sinking ship’s first distress call) just might be the epic cut. Either way, can’t wait to hear what the 71-year-old poet laureate of rock has put to tape.

Back in January, guitarist David Hidalgo said he joined Dylan for recording sessions at Jackson Browne’s Santa Monica studio, adding that he contributed parts on the Tres (a Cuban 6-string acoustic instrument) for various tracks. “Each [album] has been different, all completely different approaches,” he said of his work with Dylan since 2009′s Together Through Life. “It’s an amazing thing, how he keeps creativity. I don’t see how he does it.”

Check out the album cover above and tracklist below:

cover does look like a follow-up to empire burlesque. it's intriguing. i curious about the sound and if it's gonna be mostly blues like the last album or more varied like modern times. i loved modern times. i appreciate dylan, but was never a rabid fan, but for some reason i listened the shit out of modern times :-)

apparently there's a lot of accordion. plus roll on john was released in the early 60s

 

Rolling Stone posted somethign about Roll on John being a tribute to John Lennon, with quotes from Come Together and A Day in the Life in it. It could be based on an older song though, Dylan tends to do that type of thing.

Come Together is already based on an old song by Chuck Berry. How does that work?

 

I sure hope this album is better than his last one.

Looks like they used another song also - Scarlet Town.

 

The first song off of Bob Dylan’s recently announced Tempest has hit the internet, but not in the manner you might expect: “Early Roman Kings” made its debut in a commercial for the Cinemax original series Strike Back. The romping, bluesy tune provides a surprisingly lighthearted backdrop for a the war-torn trailer. Strike Back’s new season is set to begin on Aug. 17, and according to Rolling Stone, Cinemax will premiere a second track that evening called “Scarlet Town.”

Some of the cd's sold in those stores will be signed by Dylan, too. I never heard of this type of marketing (pop up stores) before, but perhaps I am out of the loop on such things.

 

On another note I saw Dylan last Friday in Fort Wayne, IN. (nice town). Good show - cool to see him playing the grand piano, very rudimentary playing, but good. He sang while playing the organ, piano, harmonica, guitar, and even up front without anything, as he has been for bit now - not bad. The voice held up throughout nicely (by Dylan standard), even my wife commented how engaged he seemed throughout the night (usually when she tags along, she is not as impressed as I am.) Forgetful Heart and Rollin' and Tumblin' still hold up for me in a live setting.
