100 Copies of Bob Dylan Outtakes Record Released to Circumvent Copyright Laws

Dave Lifton — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:08:51 +0000

A set of 86 Bob Dylan outtakes from 1962 was discovered on shelves in European record stores last year. But while albums of unreleased Dylan are nothing new -- 1969's 'The Great White Wonder' is considered to be the start of the bootleg industry -- this is actually an official release, albeit in a limited edition, rare for an artist of Dylan's stature.

45 Years Ago: Bob Dylan's 'John Wesley Harding' Album Released

Michael Gallucci — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 12:30:00 +0000

In mid-1966, following a whirlwind couple of years in which he became a legend and a reluctant star, Bob Dylan withdrew from the public eye. And he found a reason that was fitting of his testy image at the time: He claimed he was in a motorcycle accident, which fans still dispute to this day. Was it real? Or was it staged so that the increasingly agitated and reclusive singer-songwriter could get away from it all for a while and clear his head?

Bob Dylan Plotting Second Volume of His 'Chronicles' Book

Chad Childers — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 03:18:21 +0000

Bob Dylan has that spark to write again, but this time it’s not for a new record, but rather the potential follow-up to his 2004 book, ‘Chronicles.’ The singer tells Rolling Stone that he’s been working on a second book, and adds, “Let’s hope [it happens]. I’m always working on parts of it, but the [...]

Bob Dylan Labels Detractors 'Wussies and Pussies' in New Interview

Jeff Giles — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:40:23 +0000

Neil Young Honors Bob Dylan + Other Classic Rockers With New Song, 'Twisted Road'

Dave Lifton — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:30:30 +0000

Neil Young remains one of the most unpredictable men in rock music. At the opening show of his new tour with Crazy Horse in Albuquerque, N.M. on Friday (Aug. 3), he debuted six songs, yet only one of them was from his most recent album, ‘Americana.’ In addition, he also chose to leave ‘Albuquerque,’ from 1975′s ‘Tonight’s the Night’ off the evening’s agenda. That has to violate some unwritten setlist-making rule, right?

Dave Swanson — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:30:36 +0000

Fifty years ago today (March 19, 1962), the self-titled debut album from Bob Dylan was released. The world was certainly a very different place in 1962 than it is in 2012. The humble rumble of of one man with one guitar and one harmonica was not standard fair for pop music fans. Even ‘folk’ music [...]

Bob Dylan Charity Covers Album to Feature Kesha, Miley Cyrus

Jeff Giles — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 16:05:27 +0000

Amnesty International is one of the world’s foremost organizations dedicated to the preservation of human rights and the prevention of grave injustice.

So it only stands to reason that in order to celebrate Amnesty’s 50th anniversary, someone decided to put together an album of Bob Dylan covers — even if it’s a little odd that they invited pop stars like Kesha and Miley Cyrus to join the roster of artists lending their pipes to the rock legend’s classic songs.
