  • Jersey City Street Converted into Retro West Village for Bob Dylan Movie Shoot (Jersey Digs) [5]
    • “One of the most anticipated biopics has transformed one of Jersey City’s oldest neighborhoods into a retro version of Greenwich Village as the Timothée Chalamet-led “A Complete Unknown” continues to shoot throughout New Jersey.”
  • Musician Points Out Microphone Mishap in Forthcoming Bob Dylan Biopic (MusicTech) [3]
    • “In the photo, actor Timothée Chalamet, who is playing the role of Bob Dylan, is captured singing into a Sony C38 microphone. This mic was introduced in 1965. “Can movies like this please hire music people who know what they’re doing?” He writes online.”
  • Chalamet Takes the Stage as Bob Dylan (People) [3]
    • “The pair were dressed in character as they played for a crowd on the set, with Chalamet wearing a brown jacket over a blue shirt and blue jeans outfit. Meanwhile, Barbaro sported a blue and purple patterned dress while her darks locks were styled into a side parting.”
  • See Chalamet Filming Bob Dylan Movie (NJcom) [3]
    • “Sloves gathered with other Chalamet fans and onlookers across from Moran’s pub on Garden Street in Hoboken late Friday. The bar has been completely made over for the movie to look like McAnn’s, a 1960s New York bar and restaurant.”
  • Timothee Chalamet Takes to The Stage (Daily Mail UK) [3]
    • ” MANY PHOTOS: The 28-year-old performer debuted shorter hair as he appeared to be performing several songs at a music festival as he worked on the upcoming biographical drama feature.”

  • Bob Dylan’s Ongoing Journey (Inside Higher Ed) [8]
    • “He quite rightly regards himself as a modern-day troubadour, minstrel, bard and rhapsode, like those who recited Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. His ability to draw upon and synthesize these varied influences and create songs that are entirely new and original is a real testament to his musical and poetic genius.”
  • Dickey Betts Talks Singing “Ramblin’ Man” with Bob Dylan (Flagging Down) [8]
    • “That “Ramblin’ Man” performance took place in Tampa, near Dickey’s home, in 1995. It’s not the only time Betts and Dylan shared a stage. For a decade or so, whenever Dylan played a show in central Florida, Dickey was likely as not to pop onstage to jam.”
  • Gender Performance Pt. 1 (Shadow Chasing) [8]
    • “My focus will be on key figures from 1950s pop culture who pushed back against the restrictive gender norms of the era. These mentors taught young Bobby Zimmerman how to question, resist, and reimagine masculinity, shifting from a rigid, narrow, stable essence toward variable performances across a broader spectrum.”
  • Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour Finale V: My Personal Highlights (Flagging Down) [8]
    • “There were too many disparate highs spread across them all. So, instead of one Best, I’m offering a handful of personal Bests. Best shows, best songs, best moments that stick in my memory.”
  • Ask Greil: April 19, 2024 (Letters in The Ether) [3]
    • “Chris Hillman, Roger McGuinn, and Bob Dylan are the three of the six on that stage that night who are still around. They would know. But they’re not talking, so far.”
  • Duquesne Whistle 2013-2018 (Untold Dylan) [5]
    • “What I find very curious is that the first time I heard the concert versions from 2013 I had the impression that Bob had speeded the song up, but in fact that is not so. He’s changed the melody and the accompaniment, and it feels faster, but no the tempo is virtually identical.”
  • The Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour 15: Mother of Muses (Untold Dylan) [5]
    • “I feel the need to compare the live performance with the album recording. Just listen to Bob’s voice here, and the way that the instrumental accompaniment fits together. Everything in this album recording seems to me to be so far beyond that which is delivered live, I find the two impossible to compare.”
  • The Girl On The Greenbriar Shore (Untold Dylan) [5]
    • “Dylan only performed this song twice and this recording is different than the one which appears on The Genuine Never Ending Tour Covers Collection 1988-2000. The other performance took place two days later in Dunkerque, France and was officially released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs.”
  • “Blood In The Tracks” by Rick Shefchik and Paul Metsa (Not Dark Yet) [8]
    • “I had to let it go for the next thirty years. By the eighties I’m in Hollywood running a songwriters trade association and my name isn’t on the record jacket. I can’t mention it. I can’t even bring it up in conversation or I lose all credibility, my calling card in the fraught copyright politics of the eighties.”
  • Lyrics and Music: I Want You (Untold Dylan) [3]
    • “But the lyrics offer something else – or rather two something else’s, if there can be such things. The chorus is trivial, both musically and lyrically, repeatinga“I want you” and then adding “so bad”.  That is hardly what any of us would quote if telling a colleague or friend that Dylan was a master of words.”
  • Bob Dylan’s Coming to Town. Go See Him (WRAL) [3]
    • “Here’s my nearest claim to fame: I’ve seen Bob Dylan in concert in six different decades. When you’re Dylan’s age, maybe you’ll ask your grandkids, “Hey, did I tell you about the time I saw Bob Dylan?”
  • Why Pay for a Therapist When You Have Bob Dylan? (Daily Free Press) [3]
    • “Different milestones in my life could be told through Bob Dylan songs. Moments that are so intensely personal that when his words hit me, I feel like someone stole my own thoughts. He has the stunning ability to describe a feeling that I’m not able to articulate into words.”
  • Remember When: Rock’s Heavy Hitters Celebrated Bob Dylan’s First 30 Years in Music (American Songwriter) [3]
    • “What concert featured the most impressive lineup of rock and roll luminaries? Woodstock? The Last Waltz? Live Aid? All solid choices. But you can make a pretty good case that The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration held in 1992 in honor of Bob Dylan an stand up pretty tall with all the others mentioned.”
  • The Dickey Betts Song Bob Dylan Wished He Had Written (UltimateClassicRock) [3]
    • “”Another time, Bob wanted do ‘Ramblin’ Man,'” Betts recalled. “I said, ‘You don’t know the words to that, do you?’ He said, ‘I know all the words to “Ramblin’ Man.” I shoulda wrote that song myself.’ I said, ‘OK, let’s check. If you don’t know, just make shit up, and you’ll do well.’ So we sang ‘Ramblin’ Man.’ He sang every word exactly the way I wrote it.”

  • LLoyd Fonvielle on ‘Shadows in the Night (Peter Stone Brown) [10]
    • “To call the results astonishing is to put it mildly. Part of what’s so moving about the album is that Bob Dylan, an iconic rebel, a great though eccentric songwriter in his own right, surrenders utterly to the lyrics and the melodies of songs written for mainstream audiences.”
  • A Restored Western Masterpiece from Sam Peckinpah & Bob Dylan (MovieWeb) [5]
    • “Fortunately, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid has been restored, and the Criterion Collection is releasing a 4K set that includes the 50th anniversary release, the original theatrical release, and Peckinpah’s first cut. The film stars Kris Kristofferson, James Coburn, Jason Robards, and Bob Dylan, who created the gorgeous score for the film.”
  • ‘Together Through Life’ Remains One of Bob Dylan’s Most Low Key, Organic LPs (Something Else) [5]
    • “Dylan wanted to make a small, good thing – focusing inward, mostly, talking about relationships with both honesty and a ragged sense of humor. He brilliantly succeeded.”
  • Subterranean Homesick Blues (The Ting Tings Remix) (Cult Following) [3]
    • “Whatever the duo behind That’s Not My Name could add to one of the great protest songs of the United States’ lengthy history is lost immediately. They have sliced and diced this Dylan classic in a horror experience brought on by a pop duo too big for their boots.”
  • Brokedown Palace Review (Cult Following) [5]
    • “Brokedown Palace, then, feels like a tribute to the fallen. They may linger but the likes of Jerry Garcia left us some time ago, and this cover from Dylan is knowing of that and seems stunned somewhat by how much time has passed.”
  • Bob Dylan’s ‘Nashville Skyline’ at 55 (American Songwriter) [3]
    • “Like the other severe stylistic shifts in his career, Nashville Skyline wasn’t a premeditated act by Bob Dylan designed to jolt his fans out of complacency. It was simply an artistic reflection of where he was in his life.”
  • GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Broadway Dallas (Broadway World) [5]
    • “Sadly, with the national tour of Girl from the North Country, currently playing at Music Hall in Fair Park, Broadway Dallas has given us something resembling the latter. The cast is strong – and while the story is better than the phone book, the play simply fails on too many levels.”
  • Desperate Lives Buoyed By Dylan’s Songs in Girl From the North Country (Houston Press) [5]
    • “Why should Houston audiences come to see this? “Because it is like nothing you’ve ever seen,” Blood says. “It hits you in these surprising ways. I’ve seen a zillion times. There is something sort of magical and hard to understand about why it is so moving and beautiful.”
  • Ranking the 5 Best Songs on ‘Blonde on Blonde’ (American Songwriter) [3]
    • “Some all-time great one-liners can be found within this song, but, like a lot of the best tracks on this album, it’s ultimately driven by hurt and disappointment.”
  • Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964 (Tinnitist) [1]
