45 Years Ago: Bob Dylan's 'John Wesley Harding' Album Released

Michael Gallucci — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 20:30:00 +0000

In mid-1966, following a whirlwind couple of years in which he became a legend and a reluctant star, Bob Dylan withdrew from the public eye. And he found a reason that was fitting of his testy image at the time: He claimed he was in a motorcycle accident, which fans still dispute to this day. Was it real? Or was it staged so that the increasingly agitated and reclusive singer-songwriter could get away from it all for a while and clear his head?

Michael Gallucci — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 18:21:22 +0000

As an artist who had already reinvented himself several times over the years, Bob Dylan’s 1997 rebirth turned out to be not only his greatest comeback but also the greatest third act in rock ‘n’ roll history.

I’m always working on parts of it, but the [...]

Jeff Holbrook — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:43:12 +0000

Dave Lifton — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:48:25 +0000

Fifty years into his career, every new Bob Dylan album is still greeted with a mixture of anticipation and expectation that few can match. What’s he going to say about life? How’s he going to say it? Did he change religions again?
