News:
Bob Dylan Now Seems to Exist Beyond Music (The Independent) [5]
"In his ninth decade, Dylan now seems to exist beyond music – or rather beneath it, rooting in the primal soil of his songs in search of their fundamental crux."
The Languid Storyteller Rollicks on Gracefully (The Times UK) [3]
"The dancing imp has been replaced by a languid storyteller, his expert band huddling around him and making a sound that was warm and gently rollicking."
Still Lots to Celebrate Despite the Shuffling and Wheezing (The Telegraph) [5]
"Songs concluded not in an artfully crafted climax, but a state of chaotic collapse signalled by Dylan hammering keys with all the panache of a tone deaf drunk who has lost control of his fingers."
Bournemouth International Centre (Peter Viney's Blog) [1]
"The sound is much better than 2022 on the vocals. No, it’s not at Leonard Cohen, or James Taylor or Paul Simon’s level of vocal clarity, but I don’t think he has that in him."
Esch-Sur-Alzette (Christopher Rollason) [5]
"The song proper was preceded by a long and ominous instrumental passage. When Dylan came on his delivery was firm and clear throughout, bringing out the sinister atmosphere of the song."
Best of The Week
Our favorite stories and links from the past week
Chalamet Demands Reshoots in Bob Dylan Biopic (Life & Style) [5]
"Bottom line here is that the reshoots were put together to work out issues with Timmy’s acting, to give his big moments more strength and purpose, and to iron out the issues with his impersonation of Bob Dylan."
John Mulaney Receives Notes from 'Bob Dylan' in SNL Promo (Rolling Stone) [5]
"Johnston is a longtime Bob Dylan fan with an incredible ability to mimic his singing styles from different eras of the Sixties and Seventies. But this is the first time we've witnessed him impersonate Theme Time Radio Hour-era Dylan circa 2007."

Suzi Ronson Recalls the Rolling Thunder Revue (Flagging Down The Double E's) [10]
"So Bob sits there, plays songs from Desire. You, Mick, and Ian sitting at an adjacent table. What happens next?"
