Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways

Ok i just gave it a listen on you tube.Well ,i feel like i have heard this music before.Will i need this to be burned in .errr more play time.Perhaps ,will i ,i dont think so.Hey i like Dylan always have.Ive seen him in concert .I liked him more in the 70s .I have bought most of his albums but mostly on used cds.Its older Bob,nothing new .Sorry.

He sounds as good as he looks. Period. Old. Tired. Bitter. Still rehashing the Kennedy assassination? Please, I was there too. Let's move on from that sad event. We've lived through it and its aftermath enough times for many years and now he dredges it up again? For what?

Roxy54 - from what I have read Dylan wrote the song ‘Murder Most Foul’ for the Kennedy family as his contribution to their 50 Year Remembrance ceremony of the event (Nov 22, 2013). The song was preformed just for the ceremony and not released to the public as a single until much later (about 7 or 8 months ago). He then saw fit to include it into his latest album we are discussing.

Sorry you do not enjoy reliving history thru music. The song also touches on the other key assassinations of that violent time as well - the death of Martin Luther King  and Bobby Kennedy. It reminds me of the actual impact of ‘Nonviolent Protests’ and how that approach to change America was so effective - as apposed to ANTIFA and their destruction of Seattle and Portland today.

Just my two cents - enjoy the music. 

tom8999,

If ever an album fitted it’s times - it’s this one. Just like the Sex Pistols ’Nevermind the Bollocks’ and the Beatles ’Sgt Pepper’ ’Rough and Rowdy Ways’ has captured the essence of its times.

The whole world is obviously going through some very strange days and Bob Dylan has provided us a with a great album to take some kind of an historical recap.

They’ll be listening to this one a 100 years from now, hopefully onboard some luxury space station.

tom8999,
Good information and a different perspective. Thanks, John
