  • Bob Dylan Treats Star-Studded Brooklyn Bowl Nashville Crowd to ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways’ Cuts and More (Relix) [3]
    • “Bob Dylan took his ever-expanding Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour to Nashville, Tenn.’s Brooklyn Bowl. The night was a typical display for the musical bard, who leaned heavily into his 39th studio album/ tour namesake, Rough and Rowdy Ways, cutting into nine songs off the set and ending the event by recognizing some special guests in the audience, regional staple Jack White and acclaimed record producer T Bone Burnett.”
  • Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic Set for Philadelphia for First Time (Billboard) [3]
    • “Bob Dylan, Alison Krauss & Robert Plant, Maren Morris and more will share the bill. “I am thrilled to bring the 4th of July Picnic to Philadelphia for the first time in our storied history,” Nelson said in a statement. “It’s an honor to host such an extraordinary lineup of talent in the birthplace of our country. We can’t wait to celebrate Independence Day with you.”
  • Willie Nelson’s 4th of July show in Camden will feature Dylan, Robert Plant, others (NJArts) [3]
    • “Willie Nelson, who previously announced an Outlaw Music Festival concert at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel on June 30, has added a Fourth of July concert at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden that he is calling “Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic.” And it will have an amazing lineup: Joining Nelson will be Bob Dylan, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Maren Morris, Mavis Staples and Celisse.”
  • Two Nights in Nashville (Flagging Down) [8]
    • “I usually focus on the individual songs, “Watching the River Flow” through “Every Grain of Sand.” This song was better on night one. That song he mumbled the lyrics of. I preferred the 2022 arrangement. Et cetera. But that’s not really how Dylan presents them live. It’s more like one 115-minute composition. One big song.”
  • Nashville Skyline: Dylan at Brooklyn Bowl, March 26 & 27 2024 (Jukebox Graduate) [8]
    • “Both shows were very very good but Tuesday’s was definitely at a different level than Wednesday’s; there was a buzz and an electricity on Tuesday I can still conjure when I close my eyes; it’s still real, it’s still tangible.”

  • Searchlight’s ‘A Complete Unknown’ Adds Boyd Holbrook, Scoot McNairy, Dan Fogler, Will Harrison & Charlie Tahan (Deadline) [5]
    • “Other new additions include P.J. Byrne (Babylon), Eli Brown (Gossip Girl), Nick Pupo (Halt and Catch Fire), Big Bill Morganfield, Laura Kariuki, Eric Berryman (Atlanta), David Alan Basche (Egg), Joe Tippett (Monarch) and James Austin Johnson (Saturday Night Live).”
  • Suede Jacket Spring? Thanks a Lot, Timmy (Inside Hook) [3]
    • “The pictures of Chalamet in character as Mr. Dylan, blasting cigs and reading poetry on a non-descript West Village park beach, naturally went viral immediately, thanks in large part to killer costuming that included roughout boots, ’60s style, high-waisted trousers, and a quintessentially Zimbo jacket — presumably vintage, as the cropped suede coat is so perfectly worn in that to call it “buttery” would be to do it a disservice.”
  • Timothée Chalamet’s 60s-Inspired Chelsea Boots Help Him Channel Bob Dylan for ‘A Complete Unknown’ (Footwear News) [5]
    • “Chalamet’s outfit was spot on for the 1960s, which is when the film is set. Though the Chelsea boot was trendy as recently as the late 2010s, dubbed by some communities as the “Brunch shoe,” it’s more inextricably linked with its time as a menswear staple of the 1960s.”
  • Timothée Chalamet Truly Looks the Part of Bob Dylan (Esquire) [3]
    • “Really, the Dylan wardrobe is simple. Don’t overthink it. Classic Wayfarer sunnies, a damn cool suede trucker jacket, and, of course, heeled suede boots, per the era’s style. This isn’t just a look that the likes of Chalamet and Dylan can pull off, but one that’s easy to emulate and replicate.”
  • Timothée Chalamet Transforms Into Bob Dylan on Set (Billboard) [3]
    • “In photos and videos taken on set, Chalamet looked like the spitting image of Dylan in a brown suede jacket, boots and sunglasses, his dark, curly hair perfectly untamed. Cigarette in hand, the Wonka star got in and out of vintage cars and wandered — like a rolling stone, one could say – in front of Hotel Chelsea in lower Manhattan.”
  • Now filming: Timothée Chalamet tours N.J. (NJ.com) [1]

  • Real Life Rock Top 10, March 25, 2024 (Letter In The Ether) [5]
    • “In this ten-and-a-half-minute video, Buckley dramatizes one of the many things “Ain’t Talkin’,” from Dylan’s 2006 Modern Times, might be: a nihilist Western, a dead-man-walking version of the 1967 spaghetti Western God Forgives . . . I Don’t! except that in “Ain’t Talkin’” God is dead.”
  • R&RW: Got To Serve Somebody (Untold Dylan) [3]
    • ““Gotta Serve Somebody” from Slow Train Coming remains one of Bob’s favourite songs and the official site now records it having been performed 695 times since November 1979, and still going strong as of a couple of days ago. It is (if I have counted correctly) the 22nd most performed of his own songs by Bob during his eternal tour.”
  • High Water (2001) PT: 24 (Untold Dylan) [5]
    • “Dylan is asked about his interest in history, one of the reporters thinks he is being clever and tries to hit him over the head with a song quote. “You said: inside the museums history’s goes up on trial.” Dylan: “Inside the museums… is it ‘history’?” Surely that’s not right, Dylan thinks. It doesn’t sound right.”
  • Dylan Cover a Day: When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky (Untold Dylan) [5]
    • “I imagine it must take a huge amount of practice to move from the standard way of playing to be able to do this, although as far as I know he always played like this from the very start. I find this an utterly stunning piece of reworking of the Dylan song, which really takes the original much, much further.”
  • Lyrics and Music: It Takes A Lot to Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry (Untold Dylan) [3]
    • “And when the instrumental verse comes in before the final sung verse, the harmonica is incredibly plaintive and wanting – especially in the penultimate line of the music.  And indeed the sound of the harmonica there prepares us somehow for the winter time – which of course for the illegal traveller was very much the worst time of year.”
  • The NET Extended: To Ramona (Untold Dylan) [5]
    • “It is slightly faster than the original now, but not that much faster.  What there is however, is an absolute urgency about the song. In the original Bob seems just to be reflecting on the lady with a bit of a sad shake of the head. Now he is shouting out to her, “What’s going on, what happened???”
  • R&RW: Key West (Untold Dylan) [1]

  • Truckin’ Review (Cult Following) [3]
    • “No surprise to those in attendance or listening in at home, this is a masterclass of a cover. Dylan is in fine fettle for this tour and the wilder percussion of Truckin’, and the whoops and hollers from the crowd, make this an essential live rip. Turn it up loud.”
  • Being Bob (Literary Review) [8]
    • Chronicles Review “Quite how much his audience wanted him to be their man, and the toll their passion exacted upon him, is the theme of the second section. Here is Dylan holed up in Woodstock, trying to find some semblance of domestic happiness with his young family, while interlopers, spooks, trespassers and moochers clamour at his door, demanding that he ‘stop shirking [his] duties as the conscience of a generation’.”
  • A Breathtaking, Poignant Lens Shines On GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY (Broadway World) [5]
    • “Jennifer Blood’s stirring, and captivating performance as Elizabeth Laine is something other-worldly. An almost out of body experience that needs to be witnessed. Going from one extreme, one high, to one low is hard for even the most seasoned performer. Jennifer tackles this plight with gusto, and her vocals in “Like a Rolling Stone,” will blow you away.”
