Vacant Horizon Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 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?

Oil Can Boyd Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 so is this going to be dylan's answer to gordon lightfoot's wreck of the edmund fitzgerald? I liked that song more when Bob Mould did it and called it Brasilia Crossed With Trenton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fritz Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 http://www.bobdylan....t-press-release 'Tempest' to be released on September 11, 2012. Nice. Looking forward to this. http://www.twentyfourbit.com/2012/07/bob-dylan-tempest-tracklist-release-date/ Bob Dylan Tempest Tracklist, Release Date July 17, 2012Bob 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:Bob Dylan Tempest Tracklist01 :: Duquesne Whistle02 :: Soon After Midnight03 :: Narrow Way04 :: Long and Wasted Years05 :: Pay In Blood06 :: Scarlet Town07 :: Early Roman Kings08 :: Tin Angel09 :: Tempest10 :: Roll On Joh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The album cover looks like its from 1985. Looking forward to it. The song titles look promising. Plan to see him in Ft. Wayne, IN in August. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 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 :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 apparently there's a lot of accordion. plus roll on john was released in the early 60s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Melinda Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The album cover looks like its from 1985. Looking forward to it. The song titles look promising. It's a statue in Austria but yes, the script is very flashdance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It could be baseCd 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. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Scarlet Town could be based on Barbara Allen, which played a times Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Anyone get the feeling that this could be a follow-up to his "born again" phase? I've been listening to 'Saved' and wouldn't mind that too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 no. not at all. why do you think it would be? the gospel period has some decent stuff, but i havent been looking forward to a return or anything. i think if anything this will basically be together through life part 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 take it with a grain of salt, but it sounds good!.... http://alanbumstead.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/bob-dylan-tempest-2012/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Based on the guys words it sounds pretty good. I can wait until September 11th. (which is when Love and Theft was released by the way if my memory serves me well.) LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I am interested to see how well he sells in "Big Arenas". Do they think Mark K. can sell seats. I bet they will have to discount tickets to get over 5k per venue. Also, no Florida Dates.....not nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 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.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 http://www.jambands.com/news/2012/08/27/bob-dylan-s-tempest-store/ To boost sales of Tempest, Columbia Records will open a temporary Dylan store in NYC beginning on Monday, September 10th. Similar stores are planned for L.A., London and Berlin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I've heard of it, but not for someone such as Dylan. That video for Duquesne Whistle is horrible. It looks like a women's underwear commercial directed by David Lynch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
