The World Gone Wrong album cover stands out amongst all the Dylan covers - Bob has a top hat on, the colors are vibrant, and he has a detached look that doesn't exude the confidence you find on all of his other covers. The picture was taken during the filming of a video for Blood In My Eyes, and it's one of dozens of amazing photographs taken by Ana Maria Vélez Wood

Bob Dylan knew - and often played - most of the songs he covered on Good As I Been To You for his entire professional life. In this episode we examine the original versions of these songs (there are always more than a few) and other interesting covers that have been done since Dylan's 1992 release.
We begin our Season Two looking at the records Dylan made at home, Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong. Episode features a background to this move, an interview with Engineer Micajah Ryan, and and overview of the Good As I Been To You Reviews from top publications.

Make You Feel My Love is a song that has received a lot of attention - but not entirely out of admiration - a lot of Dylan fans just don't like it. On this episode Laura Tenschert talks about the song and those reactions.
Laura is a writer, podcaster and musician who runs Definitely Dylan where she looks at art and creativity through the lens of Bob Dylan’s work. Definitely Dylan is a podcast and has an active Patreon with exclusive content and monthly online events. She is also a member of the board at the Institute of Bob Dylan Studies in Tulsa, OK.
This Podcast replays a talk Laura give to one of our Members-Only Online events, and then includes the Q&A Session from that day plus another discussion about the song we had a few weeks later. All this gives us time to dig into the song, the controversy it inspires among some Dylan fans and critics, and allows Laura to look more deeply into the song itself.

Whirly Gig is a new book that looks at the making of Time Out Of Mind. Today we talk with author John Lewis who shares his insights based on a longtime friendship with TOOM Musician Jim Dickinson and his time in The Bob Dylan Archives in Tulsa - where he was able to listen to all 500 audio files from the Time Out Of Mind Sessions.
John Lewis is a writer and curator living in Cambridge, MD. His work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Spin, The Oxford American, and many other publications. His profile of Ike Turner was included in The Oxford American Book of Great Music Writing. Lewis taught in Maryland Institute College of Art’s Curatorial Practice MFA program and co-curated Yummm! The History, Fantasy, and Future of Food, a 2017 exhibition at the American Visionary Art Museum. He is currently working on a documentary film about Globe Poster.
We talk about his relationship with Dickinson, what Dickinson learned from his time with Bob Dylan, what John heard in Tulsa on the Time Out Of Mind Tapes, the relationship between Dickinson and Daniel Lanois, and more.

It turns out Fragments wasn't the last Time Out Of Mind release for the year. A few days ago SuperDeluxeEdition.com made the surprise announcement of a new Time Out Of Mind Blu-Ray disc offering the 2022 Remix in 24/96 High Resolution and the Dolby Atmos Mix. This is on pre-sale until Feb 24, 2023 and then will be out-of-print.
Paul Sinclair of SuperDeluxeEdition.com joins us today to talk about this exciting new Audiophile release. Music fans know the website for sharing info on all cool box sets, but this exclusive release is part of a Spatial Sound Series that Paul has been working on - it's actually the 8th release in the series.
In this conversation we learn how the opportunity to work with Dylan came up, more about the high-res and Atmos mixes, and why the limited edition ordering period. For anyone who cares about hi-res, or has a home theater with 5.1 or better speaker configuration, this is a very interesting offer. Given the limited edition nature, it's also a Dylan collector event as well.

Steven Hyden wrote the liner notes for The Bootleg Series 17: Fragments - The Time Out Of Mind Sessions, and in this episode talks to us about the assignment, his assessment of Bob Dylan in 1997, and how the narrative of the times stood up to 25 years of additional Bob Dylan output.
Hyden is a respected music writer, and his latest book is called Long Road: Pearl Jam and the Soundtrack for a Generation, and he's also the author of Your Favorite Band is Killing Me, Twilight of the Gods and several others. He writes regularly at Uproxx where he is officially the ‘Cultural Critic’, Plus: he has a new Bob Dylan Podcast focusing on Live shows from the Never Ending Tour - called Never Ending Stories.
His essay in the CD and LP box sets talks about how Dylan was positioned and perceived in the media around 1997, and how that narrative didn’t exactly align with reality and how 25 years has utterly destroyed the popular assumptions of the time.
In this conversation we talk about how Steven got the gig, what he was asked to do, his thoughts about summing up 60 years of Bob Dylan, what it meant at the time for a 55 year old to make an album, the role Daniel Lanois played, what the new mix and outtakes say about the album, his thoughts on the live tracks that are included, the future of the Bootleg Series, and much more.
