  • Dylan and Obama (Shadow Chasing)
    • “The Obama family hosted a regular music series in the White House, and on this occasion the theme was “Music of the Civil Rights Era.” Dylan closed the set.”
  • Tangled Up In Blue III (Dylanology)
    • Is it the concrete notes that are being played? The pace? the attack? The phrasing? The relationship to tradition? etc. What exactly is it about the riff? That is what is missing in most rock journalism.”
  • Tangled Up In Blue: Different Points of View (Chris Gregory)
    • “This links the song with Jack Kerouac’s beat masterpiece On the Road, in which characters frequently ‘take to the road’, despite their lack of funds, in a quest for a peculiarly American kind of freedom.”
  • Isis: You Mystical Child (Chris Gregory)
    • “Perhaps the most dramatic moment of all in this extreme expression of poetic angst occurs near the end of the performance as Dylan acts out a conversation between his narrator and the object of his love – the ‘mystical child’ Isis herself. “
  • Bob Dylan Featuring Van Morrison (Flagging Down Double E’s)
    • “here’s the timeline of Bob-Van duets I worked out, with audio or, even better, video of each…”
  • Chronicling Every Detail of Rolling Thunder Tours (Flagging Down Double E’s)
    • “Whenever new information emerged, I would add it into my Word documents. Sometimes I would go back and add something new that I didn’t do initially, like include the Bobtalk for the 74 tour, or do a song chart for the RTR shows.”
  • Other People’s Songs: “It Hurts Me Too” (Untold Dylan)
    • “But what we really notice is the addition of the swing beat which allows for all the laid-back fun in the instrumental verse.  That swing beat gives us 16 bars of bouncy 4/4 rhythm and a totally different feel.”
  • NET Highlights: It’s All Right Ma 2001 (Untold Dylan)
    • “What he brilliantly does here is give us a gentle accompaniment.  The speed of the song is just a fraction slower than the album, but above all we have that gentle percussion along with a second acoustic guitar.”
  • Bob Dylan In The Land of Where or When (Town Topics)
    • “Does it really matter whether Dylan is composing or fabricating or simply remembering a vision of Chloe half a century after the fact “wearing a Japanese kimono over a red flannel shirt” as she cooks up some steak and onions?”
  • ExpectingRain is on Mastodon

  • Love Sick / Cold Irons Bound – 2023 Rolling Stone Exclusive 7″ Single
    • Both Songs from FRAGMENTS
  • Flashback: Dylan Releases Blood On The Tracks (MyRadioLink)
    • “Costello: Blood On The Tracks, which is a very harrowing record in many ways emotionally — but it isn’t a better record if you were to be possessed of the idea that that was an exact representation of Bob Dylan’s life at that time…”
  • Bringing It All Back Home (Gaslight Records)
    • The deep scarring in my soul at the hands of the opening track could have only been made worse by one thing: “Maggie’s Farm”—a tune that boasts a horrific pop inspired jig atop the edifice of topical songwriting.”
  • Together Through Life (Cult Following)
    • “Those charming mandolin and accordion charms that crop up on most of the tracks, especially If You Ever Go To Houston, feel resplendent. They reminisce about easy-going times.”
  • NEW BOOK: Bob Dylan in the 2020’s (Francois Guillez)
  • NEW BOOK: Blood In The Tracks (Preorder)
    • The Minnesota Musicians Behind Dylan’s Masterpiece
