Here's the cover art for Dylan's new album MODERN TIMES to be released August 29:

unconfirmed tracklisting :
1. Thunder on the Mountain (Modern Times) 2. Spirit on the Water 3. Rollin' and Tumblin' 4. When the Deal Goes Down 5. Someday Baby 6. Workingman's Blues 7. Beyond the Horizon 8. Nettie Moore 9. The Levee's Gonna Break 10. Ain't Talkin'
supposedly, tracks 6, 8 and 10 are the absolute killers. The album lasts 60 minutes.
Theres an interesting piece on the new "Uncut" by one of their writers was at the Sony "preview" of the album in New York on June 6th. I've reproduced an abridged summary of it below.
"Think...of 'Love and Theft' and 'The Basement Tapes', and the way in which the songs on those albums seemed to have been put together from a thousand old blues phrases, snatchs of folklore, old stories and scraps of legend....crunching Chicago-style blues and the '30's jump-jazz first essayed on 'Love and Theft' are also musical touchstones. Dylan, traditionally cavalier in the studio, apparently spent uncharacteristically long hours working on his vocal tracks. As a result, he gives a performance thats positively Sinatra-esque in it's sly mastery of phrasing and heartfelt feeling. ; it ranks amongst his best ever singing. In producing, arranging and bandleading too, he's handled every aspect of 'Modern Times' with consummate care and attention...
As to whether the one-time spokesman for a generation has responded to the desperate state of his country since 'Love and Theft' was released - by ominous coincidence om September 11, 2001 , the day that change America forever - the answer is, as always, "in a way". There is no mention of planes crashing into the World Trade Center, war in the Middle east, world terrorism or george Bush. But the blues and folk traditions in which Dylan has rooted himself since 1992's "Good As I Been To You" allow him to allude to such matters in a primal, timeless, manner. Just as "High Water", the standout track on "Love and Theft", seemed eerily to anticipate some incipient natural catastrophe - Hurricane Katrina springs to mind - so images of bad weather, plagues and poverty blow through 'Modern Times'. the overall feeling is of decent, ordinary Americans gathering against apocalyptic uncertainty ; storms not of their making..
A final question comes up about now. is there anything here thats fit to stand beside Dylan's most deathless work? Unequivocally, yes. There are several candidates. But look out most of all for a song that combines blue-collar country music with the gutsy politics of "Infidels' protectionist, pro-US worker "Union Sundown", and Dylan's pro-farmers speech at 'Live Aid'. All this and it's a love song - and one with a hint, after too many years, of the swirling majesty of 'Like A Rolling Stone'.

Dylan Sets Album Track List, Inspires NYC Tribute
July 13, 2006, 10:50 AM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Bob Dylan has finalized the track list for his new album, "Modern Times," due Aug. 29 via Columbia. Four of the 10 cuts push the six-minute mark, including the nearly eight-minute "Spirit on the Water" and the nearly nine-minute closer, "Ain't Talkin'."
As previously reported, "Modern Times" was recorded earlier this year with Dylan's touring band of bassist Tony Garnier, drummer George G. Receli, guitarists Stu Kimball and Denny Freeman and multi-instrumentalist Donnie Herron.
The album will also be available in a special edition with a bonus DVD featuring four additional songs, details of which have yet to be announced. Dylan will support "Modern Times" with his third annual tour of minor league baseball stadiums, which gets underway Aug. 12 in Comstock Park, Mich.
Meanwhile, Dylan will be the subject of a star-studded tribute concert to be held Nov. 9 at New York's Avery Fisher Hall. Such artists as Patti Smith, Phil Lesh, Cat Power, Philip Glass, Natalie Merchant and the Black Crowes' Chris and Rich Robinson will each cover one of Dylan's tunes at the event, proceeds from which will benefit the Music for Youth Foundation.
Other acts on the bill include Rosanne Cash, Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, Medeski Martin & Wood, Gov't Mule and Al Kooper and the Funky Faculty.
Here is the track list for "Modern Times":
"Thunder on the Mountain"
"Spirit on the Water"
"Rollin' and Tumblin'"
"When the Deal Goes Down"
"Someday Baby"
"Workingman's Blues #2"
"Beyond the Horizon"
"Nettie Moore"
"The Levee's Gonna Break"
"Ain't Talkin'"

I thought it says: "Thank you Eric, for the music you brought to us". |
