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.”

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.

哥伦比亚唱片宣布，Bob Dylan的长期Bootleg系列将出新品，《Vol. 10: Another Self Portrait》预计于8月27日上市。据《纽约时报》报道，这张专辑的封面是Dylan本人的一幅新画作，专辑的预告中称其将包含从未公开的Bob Dylan与George Harrison的合作。
这张bootleg收集了1969年到1971年Bob Dylan最受争议时期的35首罕见和未发行歌曲，其中包括他为1970年专辑《Self Portrait》和《New Morning》准备的素材。
据悉，该发行将有标准双CD版、豪华四CD版和黑胶版几种形式。收录1969年他在英国怀特岛与The Band乐队的完整演出，此外还会附上再版的《Self Portrait》，以及两本精装纪念册，其中就有当年Greil Marcus评论《Self Portrait》的经典开篇语：“What is this shit？”。黑胶版则以三张3LP呈现，另有12寸大小册子。

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！

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.

Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, author, poet, and visual artist who has been a major figure in popular culture for more than fifty years.

Bob Dylan这个名字让你想到什么？一张忧郁的脸孔、一副沧桑的嗓音、唱着反战歌曲，没错，就是他！Bob Dylan，原名Robert Allen Zimmerman，出生于1941年5月24日的美国明尼苏达州Duluth市。他深受美国现代民谣之父Woody Guthrie的影响，并且在其它方面如腔调、服装、姿态等等也都无不模仿Woody的神情。
Dylan被传奇制作人John Hammond发掘后，便开始连续录制了好几张非常具有政治意识的民谣抗议歌曲，这样的大胆作风旋即冲击了当时的乐坛，当然也立刻获得各方评论界的一致赞扬。甚至在当时整个乐坛已逐渐被类似Beatles的英国歌手占领之时，Bob Dylan却都还能在排行榜上占有一席之地，更加证明了他在当时确实激励了无数的青年开始拿起吉他唱出属于他们世代的民歌。
Dylan写出了大量的优秀作品，他的歌曲成为民权和反战运动的圣歌，像《随风飘逝》Blowin in the Wind 和《大雨将至》A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall这样的抗议歌曲，有像传统的《科里纳，科里纳》Corrina Corrina和以传统为基础的《来自北部乡村的女孩》Cirl from the North Country这样的爱情歌曲，还有像《我将会自由》（I Shall Be Free）这样的滑稽歌曲。迪伦成了民谣摇滚英雄。
Bob Dylan创立了全新的民间摇滚风格，提高了歌词的内涵和品味，改变了摇滚乐原来那种低俗的趣味，他通过深厚、丰富的、完全诗化的抒情化了的歌曲的主题，使听众随着音乐表现出来的原始冲击力感悟到了摇滚乐的那种容易被忽略掉的神韵。他那略显忧郁的、鼻音浓重的粗犷音质，很容易让听众识别。那强劲而粗放的、几乎不加修饰的吉它弹奏，则融入了布鲁斯音乐的精致风韵。
Bob Dylan的歌常常简单得让人吃惊，只有一把吉他加上个口琴。但也正因为这些方面的原因，人们在唱他的歌时觉得更加亲切随意。当你听厌了某些肤浅的歌词、无病呻吟的矫情……你可以回过头来，寻找一些真诚而有个性的、简单而附着灵魂的音乐来听，那么Bob Dylan的音乐应该是你的首选。
这是一张偏向乡村音乐的专辑，也是Dylan从六十年代末至七十年代处那段事业低估的开端。虽然这长专辑非议不断，但那只是对于Dylan而言的，人们对他的期望太高了。要是仅仅从一张专辑来说的话，这张绝不会比任何一位乡村歌曲大师的成名之作差。
