Not yet available at Amazon (or elsewhere, so no samples or MP3), but allegedly, the forthcoming Bob Dylan album is called Modern Times.
“The Collection: Oh, Mercy/Time Out of Mind/Love and Theft” (Bob Dylan)
Bob Dylan's first album of new songs in five years will be called 'Modern Times' and released on August 28, according to an inside source at his US record company, Sony-BMG.A number of hand-picked journalists were given a playback of the album in New York City last week but were required to sign legal undertakings not to talk about what they heard. One record company source described the album as similar in style to 2001's 'Love & Theft'. Another source claimed the dozen songs include “at least three masterpieces”.
Mr. Dylan also is not a Britney Spears fan, nor apparently is he a Coldplay fan:
NME.COM - News - THE TIMES THEY ARE A-BORING! :
Bob Dylan has launched a withering attack on contemporary rock bands in the programme notes for his latest American tour.“I know there are groups at the top of the charts that are hailed as the saviours of rock'n'roll and all that, but they are amateurs. They don't know where the music comes from,” he wrote, adding, “I wouldn't even think about playing music if I was born in these times... I'd probably turn to something like mathematics. That would interest me. Architecture would interest me. Something like that.
Though, since he doesn't actually name names of these so-called sucky bands, perhaps I'm projecting. Ahem.
