  • FRAGMENTS: The Time Out Of Mind Sessions (Bootleg Series 17)
    • Now 60+ Reviews and Articles – Ranked & Sorted – Here
    • The latest best:
      • Fragments: Time Out Of Mind Sessions (Pitchfork)
        • “What becomes abundantly clear over the course of the set’s six hours is that Time Out of Mind is primarily the story of a mood, and one ensemble’s single-minded pursuit of it. The making of this album was protracted, painful, and in all ways alive, and the album’s dour countenance was largely the product of theater and shadow. Dylan.”
      • The Time Out Of Mind Remix – Dolby Atmos Mix (Dylan.FM)
        • “Beyond everything else the comes with Bootleg Series 17: The Time Out Of Mind Sessions is the first Dolby Atmos Mix of a Bob Dylan album.”
      • A Beginner’s Guide to The 17-Volume Bootleg Series (Vulture)
        • “But with nearly two dozen releases and more than 500 tracks (not even including all the deluxe editions) in the mix, where do you start?”
      • A Song-By-Song Guide to Fragments Outtakes (Dylan.FM)
        • A collection of recording and other details about the songs on discs 2 and 3 from the Bootleg Series Vol. 17

  • The Sound of Bob Dylan – Poetry for your Ear (Johnny Borgan)
    • “However, this is not at all about whether Dylan is a “great” singer or not, or whether he is more tone-setting and trend-setting as a singer than as a songwriter, but about the understanding of his artistic project. The performance is the moment of truth and the turning point for the artist we know as Bob Dylan.”
  • The Dylan Review Vol 4.2 – Fall/Winter 2022-23
  • The First Week of Bob Dylan’s Historic 1966 Tour (Flagging Down The Double E’s)
    • “You haven’t heard this show – not unless you were in the room that night. No tape exists. That’s true for most of the first leg of Dylan’s 1966 tour, where he played 24 shows across the US and Canada, almost none of them recorded.”

  • New Video Footage of Dylan’s Second 1966 Concert (Flagging Down The Double E’s)

    • “A few weeks ago, about 15 minutes of new 1966 Bob Dylan footage appeared on YouTube. It was shot by Murray Lerner and Howard Alk at a concert in White Plains, just outside of New York City, on the second night of Dylan’s 1966 tour.”

  • Dylanology 21: Tangled up in Blue IV: On the Road – Again (2007–2018) (Dylanology)

    • “In 2007, the song is still played with G chords, but the “Larry arrangement” with the four-bar phrase is gone for good. (But as we shall see, the idea of longer phrases has not been forgotten.)”

  • I’ve Made Up My Mind To Give Myself To You (Pt.1) (Untold Dylan)

    • “Already unmistakable on a transcendent level; the irony, the ability to hide the weighty under lightness, the interweaving of “high art” with “low culture”, the sardonic outliers, the melancholy and casual humour – the congeniality is remarkable.”

  • “Well, well, well.” Little Known 1985 Dylan Song (Untold Dylan)

    • “The music to Well, well, well was originally sketched and recorded by Bob Dylan in 1985 – which is why the song is listed in 1985 in the 1980s section of the Chronology. But it wasn’t completed until 12 years later when Danny O’Keefe put the words to it.”

  • Another Well, well, well. (Untold Dylan)

    • “The recording was made just after Francesco received the Italian Blues award – which explains the unexpected array of abandoned amps and instruments around him.”

  • Other people’s songs: Take a Message to Mary (Untold Dylan)

    • “The lyrics are desperately sad and tragic, and yet the music (at least in the Everly Brothers version) is really bouncy and quite jolly.”

  • Dylan’s favourite songs: ‘Desperado Under the Eaves’ (Untold Dylan)

    • “Indeed this is a song that breaks all the rules of what you can and can’t do in a song – or at least in a song in the contemporary popular style.”

  • Bob Dylan, On A Couch And Fifty Cents A Day (iDynamo)
    • “But, this is Pete’s story.  Bob’s story with his family was quite brief although of the most intense duration, for young Pete idolized Bob in only the way a fifteen year old could idolize his adopted older brother.”
  • Vinyl Me Please – Blonde on Blonde Unboxing (Geek Insider)
    • “The hype sticker, which details precisely why this pressing of Blonde on Blonde is as Essential as they come.”
  • Street Legal Review (Cult Following)
    • “But what Street-Legal presents is consistency. There are no dips or falls. It strums and hums on as a delicate and enjoyable piece.”
