The first album of original Bob Dylan songs in 8 years was released today. There have already been several reviews written by journalists who heard advance copies. These reviews are very positive as Dylan at age 79 is getting better. I am disappointed that the concert at Forest Hills on July 8th was canceled, but in part, this new album makes up for it. I am sure that several songs from this new album would have been featured.
I am listening to it for the first time on Amazon Prime Music as I am writing this journal entry. I would really have to read the lyrics to make a more detailed analysis of it. For some reason, I will not receive the CD from Amazon until June 23. In the past, I have received CDs on the day of release. Later today, I will read some of the reviews.
Two preliminary comments:
- Jimmy Reed joins the ranks of Blind Willie McTell, Charlie Patton and other musicians who influenced Dylan.
- Did Dylan ever visit Key West?
