OT - Bob Dylan new song

[Ghosts of Electricity]

However set aside 17 minutes to listen to it.

Personally his vocals sound as good as they were in Modern Times.

Fingers crossed the rumoured new album comes to fruition. Obviously when bigger issues have been resolved.

Take care all.

Wow! That's all I could say when I reached the end of that. If you like Bob Dylan you will love it. If not, you won't.

It will take months of self-isolation to untangle all its meanings, if then.

Loved it.

I was most surprised by how good he sounded as when I last him last year he wasnt the clearest.

Ghosts,

Bob says it was recorded a while back:

The Guardian speculates that "it's an out-take from his last album of original songs, Tempest (2012), that’s noticeably better than anything on Tempest, and Dylan has form in leaving the best song off an album."

Bob Dylan: Murder Most Foul review – a dark, dense ballad for the end times

Dylan’s first new song in eight years is a fascinating portrait of his obsession with JFK’s assassination, rich with pop cultural detail and apocalyptic dread

I think that's right. It sounds so much like Tempest - one of my favourite albums.

I saw that, but there has been strong rumours over the last month a new album was on its way.

Agree with Tempest, love the album especially Pay in Blood and Long and wasted years. No one does put downs like Bob! Also agree that it sounds like a Tempest song and also it's a lengthy song like roll on John etc..

Not sure where he get his energy has he is making whisky and apparently into welding and making gates as well!

I got the Email earlier today.
What an unbelievably awesome song that is...for my generation at least...so many relevant name checks cleverly weaved into the lyrics.
On the 22 November 2013 I was at the Friday night gig of the three Blackpool concerts at the Opera House very much conscious that it was the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination to the date and the day (Friday) and the time we first heard the shocking news bulletin coming through (7pm).
