• Margo Price Talks Bob Dylan (Journal Star)
  • “The way that he influenced the country music scene when he came in, and even Kris Kristofferson said that everybody kind of looked at songwriting differently after that,” Price said. “I often think about this Neil Young quote, that he’s like, ‘I just see what Bob Dylan’s doing and then I just do it a little less better than him.'”
• Andre De Shields Channels Bob Dylan July 17, at 92nd St Y (CityLife)
  • “The dramatic reading will be interspersed with songs detailed in the book, performed by Grammy Award-winning musical artist Meshell Ndegeocello and her band. Michael Almereyda, film director and screenwriter, assembled the script for the performance, and he will direct it.”
• Legendary Promoter Looks Back at 60 Years (Rolling Stone)
  • “I used to try and get backstage since a lot of the gals wanted to meet him, but he wouldn’t see anybody. I thought I was doing him a favor. I was at a show in L.A. A lot of terrific-looking girls were outside. I said, “Bob, look at these girls. They want to come in and say hello.” He went, “Nah. Forget it.”

• Black Rider – (Chris Gregory)
  • “There has naturally been much speculation over the identity of the ‘rider’. It may be tempting, given the frequent apocalyptic references in Dylan’s work, to identify him with the third horseman of the apocalypse from Revelations, the bringer of famine who rides a black horse. Perhaps he is even the third ‘rider’ who did not appear in All Along the Watchtower.”
• NET 2013 Pt.5 (Untold Dylan)
  • “Like ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ that has become an institution, its performance a ritual. It is a mercurial song which has no final form, musically or lyrically, and that may be the whole point. Memories come and go; the journey changes as we look back on it, as we see it from different points of view.”
• NET Highlights: Desolation Row (Untold Dylan)
  • ““What makes this Bethlehem performance of ‘Desolation Row’ so special is the inclusion of that which over the years has become the missing verse. Why Dylan chose to drop this verse will remain a mystery I guess, but I always thought it was one of the best verses of the song. In it, Dylan the post-modernist reflects on the two great modernist poets of the early part of the 20^th Century.”
• NET Highlights; Blind Willie McTell (Untold Dylan)
  • “If one listens, for example, to the “God is up in His heaven” verse which is more gentle than the others, that backing music is still there at the end of each line.  What’s more, the follow-up line “And we are what was His” seems to take on a much greater meaning here.”
• Other People’s Songs: Take Me As I Am (Untold Dylan)
  • “Take Me as I Am (Or Let Me Go) is another song written by Boudleaux Bryant (see also Take a message to Mary) and was first recorded and released by “Little” Jimmy Dickens in 1954.  He was a Country musician known for his novelty songs and short stature — 4 feet, 11 inches.”
• Dark Eyes: Jeremy Joe New Version (Untold Dylan)
  • “It’s his song, so he can decide what is done with it – but the options and possibilities with this song are enormous – the speed can vary, the power can grow, it can be strummed instead of plucked… Over the years I seem to have done everything possible to it. But Dylan in his recording gives us the bare bones.”

• REVIEW: Shadow Kingdom (Off Beat)
  • “After 40 studio albums and 60+ years, the track leaves us wondering whether Dylan will ever truly feel like he’s created his masterpiece, but fans are happy to still be along for the ride.”
• REVIEW: Shadow Kingdom (FT)
  • “Cover songs are like rhymes. There’s the original thing, and then there’s the follow-up that resembles it. The best covers fit their source material like a rhyming couplet, adding something that wasn’t there before but clicking into place as though always meant to be. Which brings us to the new versions of old songs in Bob Dylan’s Shadow Kingdom.”
