FORMAT UPDATE: This week we introduce a new ‘Best Of’ section that highlights our favorite links of the week.
Best New Dylan Links
The Blood On The Tracks Piano FOR SALE (Hot Press)
"“I was doing an online search using various Dylan keywords and an image of this upright Yamaha piano came up, which a woman in New York said had belonged to him,” Laurence tells us excitedly. “There were also photos of the bond made out to Bob by Yamaha in 1969 and the original invoice from the Ostrovsky piano shop, which had his home 94 McDougal Street address on it."
GAIBTY/WGW Pt.3 - Riffs, Pieces & Final Verdict (Dylanology)
"These are more intricate than they may seem at first sight. One thing to notice is that
all the three interludes use the same three-string shapes that we have seen in the previous songs. Another is that although the general outline is the same in all three, a closer look will show that nothing is the same from version to version, except that they all start and end on a C."
A Young Man With An Old Man's Voice (Peter Stone Brown)
"My brother Tony came home from the much hipper camp he went to in upstate New York a couple of days later. He’d been playing guitar a couple of years by then and he came home with all these new songs and told me all about this guy named Bob Dylan and how he was real into Woody Guthrie."
The Sunglasses Special (Banton Frames)
"Observing photos of Dylan's frame, the shape is indeed very similar. Like the Wayfarer, his Caribbean sunglasses have the same rectangular style featuring slightly tapered lenses with rounded lower corners."
Shadow Kingdom (Mojo)
"Shadow Kingdom the album, then, turns out to be an extremely useful addition to the Dylan catalogue, and very much of a piece with his current manoeuvres."
Book On Bob Dylan Archives To Be Published (Tulsa World)
"Nearly all the materials found in the Bob Dylan Archive are unique, previously unavailable or previously unknown. The book, created with the full participation of the Bob Dylan Archives, contains some of the best of the archive, with never-before-published images of carefully curated Dylan draft lyrics, writings, drawings, photographs and other ephemera."
