New Bob Dylan album! Together Through Life

[GirlsAloudFan]

April 28th. The greatest songwriter in the history of the world is back. Again. Studio album #33.

It's called Together Through Life. Here's the cover art -

Kissing in cars. Hot. What do y'all think? Excited? I thought Modern Times was pretty damn brilliant. And it's hard to not get excited when he decides to do something new. If there is a true living legend, it's this guy. Let's talk about Bobby Dylan.

Oh, and there's an on-going Bill Flanagan interview with the man himself about the new album that they're going to update on bobdylan.com

This is awesome news. I've never met a Bob Dylan album, hell, a Dylan song, that I don't love. I can't wait. This is shaping up to be an amazing year for new releases.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

That's a great album cover. Mr. Dylan had an off night when I saw him in August, but he's too awesome for me to ever give up on him entirely.

Heard about this last week. Rolling Stone said it has a border town/cantina-type sound, and the accordion player from Los Lobos features heavily . Which has me excited, because I think Modern Times was a bit redundant musically after Love & Theft.

Yeah, I posted that Rolling Stone piece in the Random Thread last week. But the cover art, release date, and album title just came out today, so I figured it deserved a thread of its own.

That's a great album cover.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I really love the cover. The blue and red logo and the vintage photograph itself are gorgeous. Good stuff.

I do agree with that, actually. I love both of those albums, but they do sound somewhat similar. I don't really consider that a bad thing, though. They're both brilliant. I prefer Modern Times to Love&Theft, though. I just feel that its lyrics were more fleshed out.

I am a huge fan of that cover. It might be his best album cover, yet. I don't own most of the albums in hard form since I buy most of my music on iTunes, but I've never been a huge fan of his cover art. The Free-wheelin' Bob Dylan has been my favorite up to this point.

Oh, I was about to post this.
GREAT NEWS. Mr. Dylan is back. Modern Times was brillant but I'm really excited to hear how this is gonna turn out.

When I first read this it said Bobdy Lan. Then I figured it out.

A new Bob Dylan record is always good news.

And, yeah, he has an off night or tour sometimes.

I like this one a lot, too:

and last but not least:

 

[lazarus]

And call me Irvine, but that new cover sure looks like two guys kissing.

Which would be kind of awesome.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I have always liked that Nashville Skyline cover. And the rest of the 60's album covers are all iconic images at this point. Blonde On Blonde's blurry portrait is pretty cool.

 

[Irishteen]

Can't wait to hear this, Modern Times was a great album. Not really a fan of Love and Theft though...

 

[martha]

Which would be kind of awesome.

And hot.

That makes me even more about this album!
Thanks for the link.

That's what I thought as well.

How progressive.

 

[lazarus]

They're here, they're queer.

Get used to it.

You fuckin' caught the gay.

 

[U2isthebest]

Oh man, I can't wait for this album.

 

[powerhour24]

Modern Times was a return to songwriting form from Dylan to me, count me in.

New song available for free download on the official site:

TODAY ONLY!

Song is great BTW, as if there was any doubt. Definitely lives up to the promise of that border cafe sound.

 

[Lancemc]

That sounds great.

 

[MMP]

As I expected, great song! Mr. Dylan is amazing.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Definitely lives up to the promise of that border cafe sound.

Yeah, it really does. I can picture him sitting in a chair in the middle of some dark, seedy joint playing this song with a band of drunken misfits backing him up. Good stuff.

 

[impy13]

This song is the tits. I'm hoping this will his best of the post-Time Out of Mind albums. Not that I don't like Love & Theft and Modern Times. I like them a whole hell of a lot. I just want something to blow me away. This song is a nice start.

 

[Salome]

sounds excellent!
who produced this?
sounds a bit like what T Bone Burnett does best
