  • Buddy And Julie Miller’s New Bob Dylan Co-Write ‘Don’t Make Her Cry’ (Spin)
    • “Don’t Make Her Cry’ were the words Regina McCrary’s father, Reverend Sam McCrary, said to Bob when they met at a Nashville show in 1978 shortly after she joined his band,” Buddy Miller tells SPIN. “Three decades later, they finally wrote lyrics to the song together in Huntsville, Al. When it came to writing the music, Bob said to Regina, ‘give it to Buddy Miller.’ I then passed it to Julie, who added more lyrics, moved others around, and set it to music.”
  • Biopic on Tom Wilson, Unsung Bob Dylan Producer (Variety)
    • “The roster includes a long-in-the-works authorized biopic on the enormously influential but unsung producer Tom Wilson.”
  • The X-rated life of Bettye LaVette (The Telegraph)
    • “In 2018 LaVette recorded an album of Bob Dylan covers called Things Have Changed which received rave reviews. But she’s livid that Dylan “never took the time to say how good it is. And when you’re as big as he is, that can make a huge difference to sales.” She finds his silence all the more maddening because of an encounter in Spain a few years earlier.”
  • NET Highlights: Idiot Wind (1992) (Untold Dylan)
    • “You can tell from the very start that this is a different approach – there is all the sadness and desperation, and yet it is more reflective than aggressive, with the music suddenly taken right down at the end of the opening sequence of lines.”
  • Review: Street-Legal (Subjective Sounds)
    • “Sonically, Street-Legal has a full-bodied sound and while it would be nicer if the soundstage had a little more width and depth, the shallowness adds to the sonic presentation. While a broader soundstage sounds good in theory, it would likely dramatically shift the album, most likely resulting in a less-than-stellar sonic presentation.”
