I Feel A Change Of Working Title Coming On

Bob Dylan has a new album slated for an April release. After recording a track for the soundtrack of My Own Love Song, an inspired Dylan continued laying down tracks with his road band and special guests. (The accordion work of Los Lobos' David Hidalgo is supposed to be all over this thing.)

Rumored track names:
"I Feel A Change Coming On"
"Beyond Here Lies Nothin'"
"If You Ever Go To Houston"
"This Dream Of You"
"My Wife's Home Town"
"It's All Good"

Across the infernets, music geeks are freaking out about the possible (and as-of-yet-unconfirmed-in-any-shape-or-form-so-stop-freaking-out) album title. According to a Norwegian website, the title is I Feel A Change Coming On. See the New Yorker's take on it here.

Christmas Time = Present Time!!!!!!!

Alert: If you're looking for a good present for a fan of good music (such as myself) or want to update your CD collection, Amazon.com has Bob Dylan box sets on sale for $25 right now.

Biograph, the ultimate Greatest Hits collection plus previously unreleased tracks and performances spanned over 3 great discs.

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 1-3, a 3 disc collection of outtakes and rarities covering his career from the early 60's through the late 80's. A great insight into the master's process. Hear "Like A Rolling Stone," Subterranean Homesick Blues," or "Idiot Wind" how they weren't intended and listen to the tracks Dylan thought weren't good enough for the albums (they're still pretty damn good).

Greatest Hits, Vol. 1-3, The three Greatest Hits albums released throughout his career (1967, 1971, and 1994, respectively) collected in one place on 4 discs. These discs are not normal retrospectives looking back on an aging rock star. These were released while he was still putting out great records (and he still is), and are iconic albums in and of themselves, especially Vol. 1 & 2. Who didn't have those on vinyl (or at least steal them from their parents)?

Bob Dylan / Johnny Cash 1969 Sessions

I've been listening to these recordings of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash playing together. Great stuff. It's incredible to hear these two legends interact with each other. Even though Bob Dylan was already a legend at this point, you can tell Cash is the leader. Check them out here: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2008/11/18/bob-dylanjohnny-cash-1968-sessions/
