Bob Dylan has announced The Basement Tapes Complete: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11, a forthcoming six-disc set that compiles “every salvageable recording” from his famous 1967 sessions with the Band. As the story goes, Dylan and the Band holed up in upstate New York to record a number of original songs, traditional numbers, and covers. After floating around in bootleg form, a selection of those recordings were eventually released as 1975's The Basement Tapes.
But now, the Band's Garth Hudson and music archivist Jan Haust have cleaned up the original recordings and arranged them chronologically, according to Hudson's numbering system. A 38-song selection will also be issued as The Basement Tapes Raw. You can check out both tracklists below. It's out November 4, via Legacy Recordings.
I'm Not There [音乐] 豆瓣
8.7 (9 个评分) Bob Dylan 类型: Soundtrack

对于摇滚乐爱好者而言,《I'm Not There》是2007年最值得期待的电影之一,这部介绍美国摇滚乐的标志性人物——Bob Dylan生平的传记电影将于年底上映。
几十年来,Bob Dylan的曲风集民谣、摇滚、蓝调、乡村音乐之大成,他以锋利的寓言诗式的歌词抨击着他所关注的社会问题,他是一名创作歌手,更是一名诗人,也是不折不扣的乐坛常青树,在2002年,Bob Dlyan还以60岁高龄获得了格莱美最佳摇滚专辑奖,他无疑已是公认的音乐巨人。
作为这位音乐巨人的传记电影,《I'm Not There》中自然要大量出现Bob Dylan的作品,由于Bob Dylan的号召力,许多乐坛大腕都加入到了电影音乐的制作中,共同完成了30余首歌曲的录制。因此,电影的原声大碟在还未发行的时候就已经让人有望眼欲穿之感,随便介绍几首其中的歌曲:
电影同名歌曲《I'm Not There》,来自Bob Dylan和The Band等杰出音乐人合作于某公寓地下室的珍贵录音The Basement Tapes Sessions,这首歌此前从未正式发行,在原声碟中不但将会出现Bob Dylan自己演唱的版本,著名的另类摇滚乐队Sonic Youth也将翻唱此曲。
Bob Dylan的“隐喻诗”最著名的代表作之一《All Along the Watchtower》,是Bob Dylan现场演唱次数最多的歌曲,据歌迷统计,到2003年底,他就已经唱了1400多次。在原声碟中将由Pearl Jam乐队的主唱Eddie Vedder演绎。
《滚石》杂志评出的500首最经典歌曲之一,《Knockin' on Heaven's Door》,几十年来曾被无数杰出艺人翻唱,从吉他之神Eirc Clapton直到Avril Lavigne,原声碟中的演唱者是Mercury大奖得主Antony and the Johnsons。
《Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window》,Bob Dylan的得意之作,他曾经在歌曲发行之前私下唱给同乘一车的著名创作人Phil Ochs听,后者因为对这首歌反应冷淡而被Bob Dylan当场踢下了车,足见这首歌在Bob Dylan眼中的地位。
《The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll》,Bob Dylan针对一个60年代轰动一时的谋杀案而创作的主题歌曲,是他抨击种族歧视与司法不公的著名代表作。
《Highway 61 Revisited》,Bob Dylan著名专辑的同名主打歌,也入选了《滚石》杂志评出的500首最经典歌曲,此次将由纽约艺术朋克团体Yeah Yeah Yeahs的主唱Karen O献声。
《You Ain't Goin' Nowhere》,首次发行是在乡村摇滚乐队The Byrds的经典专辑《Sweetheart of the Rodeo》中,是Bob Dylan尝试乡村音乐的力作。在原声碟中演唱这首歌曲的是2006年爱尔兰音乐电影《Once》的主演,Frame乐队主唱Glen Hansard和搭档Marketa Irglova。
再来说说制作阵容,除上文提到的明星之外,许多乐坛老将,如乡村乐坛的老牛仔Willie Nelson也参与了歌曲录制,而为歌手们提供伴奏的临时乐队the Million Dollar Bashers也不可小觑,除Bob Dylan御用的贝斯手Tony Garnier等人之外,还有来自著名朋克乐队Television的吉他手Tom Verlaine,以及Sonic Youth的Lee Ranaldo、Steve Shelley等人,阵容实在堪称华丽。
如此经典的歌曲,如此强大的阵容,这套原声大碟,究竟将给听众带来怎样的听觉震撼呢?还是听听再说吧!

Triplicate [音乐] 豆瓣
Bob Dylan 类型: Rock
发布日期 2017年3月31日 出版发行: Columbia
Triplicate, is the new three disc studio album from Bob Dylan. The collection features 30 brand-new recordings of classic American tunes and marking the first triple-length set of the artist's illustrious career. With each disc individually titled and presented in a thematically-arranged 10-song sequence, Triplicate showcases Dylan's unique and much-lauded talents as a vocalist, arranger and bandleader on 30 compositions by some of music's most lauded and influential songwriters. The Jack Frost-produced album is the 38th studio set from Bob Dylan and marks the first new music from the artist since Fallen Angels, which was released in early 2016.
For Triplicate, Dylan assembled his touring band in Hollywood's Capitol studios to record hand-chosen songs from an array of American songwriters such as Charles Strouse and Lee Adams ("Once Upon A Time"), Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler ("Stormy Weather"), Harold Hupfield ("As Time Goes By") and Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh ("The Best Is Yet To Come"). The titles of the individual discs are 'Til The Sun Goes Down, Devil Dolls and Comin' Home Late. According to Bob Dylan, "I am finding these great songs to be a tremendous source of inspiration that has led me to one of my most satisfying periods in the studio. I've hit upon new ways to uncover and interpret these songs that are right in line with the best recordings of my own songs, and my band and I really seemed to hit our stride on every level with Triplicate."
Dylan's two previous album of classic American songs, 2016's Fallen Angels and 2015's Shadows in the Night, were both worldwide hits and garnered Grammy Award nominations in the category of Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Both albums received worldwide critical acclaim, with Randy Lewis writing of Fallen Angels in The Los Angeles Times, "[Dylan] immediately liberates songs from the big band/big orchestra world from which they emerged, and in which they are most frequently revisited…. [He] reaches to the blues at the core of many of these songs. Thus, they elicit the ache of romantic yearning and loss that often gets subsumed by swelling orchestral forces, background choirs or by singers who are more focused on crafting elegant vocals than finding emotional resonance." The Telegraph's Neil McCormick awarded Shadows in the Night five out of five stars and described the work as "spooky, bittersweet, mesmerizingly moving [with] the best singing from Dylan in 25 years." Jon Pareles wrote of that album in the New York Times, "Mr. Dylan presents yet another changed voice…a subdued, sustained tone….Shadows in the Night maintains its singular mood: lovesick, haunted, suspended between an inconsolable present and all the regrets of the past."
Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records around the world.

8.5 (13 个评分) Bob Dylan 类型: Folk
发布日期 2015年2月3日 出版发行: Columbia
Columbia Records announced today that Bob Dylan's new studio album, Shadows In The Night, will be released on February 3, 2015. Featuring ten tracks, the Jack Frost-produced album is the 36th studio set from Bob Dylan and marks the first new music from the artist since 2012’s worldwide hit Tempest.
Upon Columbia’s announcement of the album’s forthcoming release, Bob Dylan commented, “It was a real privilege to make this album. I've wanted to do something like this for a long time but was never brave enough to approach 30-piece complicated arrangements and refine them down for a 5-piece band. That's the key to all these performances. We knew these songs extremely well. It was all done live. Maybe one or two takes. No overdubbing. No vocal booths. No headphones. No separate tracking, and, for the most part, mixed as it was recorded. I don't see myself as covering these songs in any way. They've been covered enough. Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day.”
As Columba Records Chairman Rob Stringer explains, “There are no strings, obvious horns, background vocals or other such devices often found on albums that feature standard ballads. Instead, Bob has managed to find a way to infuse these songs with new life and contemporary relevance. It is a brilliant record and we are extremely excited to be presenting it to the world very soon.”

《Together Through Life》是一张典型的老摇滚,十首歌曲,时长四十五分钟,复古的范式,复古的音乐,鲍勃·迪伦用一种近乎于固执的坚持延续着自己的浪漫。鲍勃对于法国导演奥利维埃·达昂的影片《La Vie en Rose》推崇有佳,所以为他的新片《My Own Love Song》写一首歌,带着法国风情的《Life Is Hard》讲述了在路上的故事,美国、旅途、自省,这何尝不是鲍勃·迪伦内心的写照。布鲁斯味道的惬意一扫《Modern Times》里的大都市气息,这才是鲍勃·迪伦真正喜欢的声音。手风琴、班卓琴的大量运用营造出天然,乡村的恬适,更容易让人想到乡间宽大、木制地板的小酒馆而不是城市里让人压抑的俱乐部,迪伦深得到Chess Records和Sun Record厂牌的意味,他太明白怎么做一个不为时代所动的歌手,触动他的不是流行、电子,而是回家路上从人家窗户里飘出的一曲曲钢琴段子。在《Together Through Life》里,歌词里充斥着用最平实的话语,写成歌却制造出强大的感染力,《It´s All Good》里来回唱着简单到不能再简单的歌词却传达着一种高深的主题,即使再糟糕也会有希望,这类如乡村乐手汉克·威廉斯(Hank Williams)般美国老农讲给年轻人的经验之谈成了鲍勃·迪伦来回把玩的东西,当然诗人迪伦也会时不时展现出文气的一面,歌曲《Forgetful Heart》的灵感很可能来自约翰·班扬(John Bunyan) ,《I Feel a Change Coming On》则是取自圣经《旧约》。当年迪伦出道时的主流是弗兰克·辛纳特拉(Frank Sinatra),是《音乐之声》,即使到现在他仍旧没有真正融入进主流,但他毫无疑问已是几代人心中的文化精英,影响力是巨大的,也许连老迪伦自己也没想到一年前他在《Together Through Life》里写的“白话”歌曲居然能对现在的美国如此受用——灾难是可怕的,只要有爱就有希望,即使等不到希望还会有浪漫的梦想陪你度过难关。
