Bob Dylan: King Of The Amazon

2012-09-03 by JohnXDoesn't | 38 Comments
File this under my "is that guy still alive" category. If not his actual being, I at least thought that of his career. But apparently all is alive and well with the croaking one and his career, as his new album is not due for release until September 7th but has already hit #1 at Amazon based on advanced sales alone. I guess boomers are bored and looking to spend some of that sweet social security cash that's now flowing in. Because otherwise 35 albums in and Dylan sounds like you always thought he would at 70. And to be honest this reporters ears long for the pipes of Oh Mercy, much less Like A Rolling Stone. It's not pretty, folks.

But Bob still is. Pretty, that is. And he is still kind of cool. In a skeletal way. A suit looks good on a bag of bones, as the linked video will attest to. And he still has a way with a melody. Kids like him, it seems. He's like a cool grandpa with lots of good stories and fun hats.

Dylan's new Amazon.com hit is called Tempest. You can buy it or swipe it, but it will be out soon so it needs a review. Here is a tracklist for the album and a video of Dylan walking along, looking grand in the video for Duquesne Whistle.

'Tempest'

1. Duquesne Whistle
2. Soon After Midnight
3. Narrow Way
4. Long And Wasted Years
5. Pay In Blood
6. Scarlet Town
7. Early Roman Kings
8. Tin Angel
9. Tempest
10. Roll On John

okay, gotta say this is the best of the articles so far. It's more to the point, less fluff, and if you don't feel like reading you can still get the main idea of it (album).

but don't make fun of bob dylan >.>

saw Bob live a couple years ago, he had his whole crew dressed in white tuxedos and the only words I understood in the whole show were "Said the joker to the thief"
Still, credit where credit is due. Thanks for a great several decades Bob.

Oh my god. After my History of Modern Music class, I never wanted to hear Bob Dylan's name again.

Sigh.

On a different note, Love and Theft was a sexy-ass album. Maybe this will be, too.

I wouldn't want to run into Dylan's roving gang of street toughs in a dark alley, that's for sure

The cruz "news" sucks. Editorializing belongs in a blog post or a list or in the comments section. I am finding the news section from sputnik less and less useful these days.

Is this supposed to be surprising that a new Bob Dylan album is selling well? His last two studio albums both hit number one on the charts with ease.

Also, please stop writing articles. Please. For the love of the children.
