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

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.

This is one of his best albums ever.  
The more I listen to it the more its intricacies reveal themselves.
Just love this record.  

Snackeyp - I am so glad you found this string and are enjoying Bob - as I have said earlier - he is the poet of my generation! I am a young 66 years old. For me - this is the best Benefit of using Audiogon - we all discuss equipment to the nth degree. The whole point of our hobby is to enjoy the music. Other members comments have lead me to Artists I would never find on my own - or alert me to an ‘old favorite artist ‘ so I can enjoy their ‘evolution ‘ over their career!

God Bless and Enjoy the Music!
