Stormy Season
Silvio
titled Stormy Season (with even a track list of songs like If You
Belong To Me, Abraham's Altar, Apollo's Love, When You Give Me My
Love...)...
It was a serious news or just a joke?

somethng along the lines of new album produced by Lanois.In HMV around the
time of Bobs tour with Van Morrison(which got postponed when he took ill) ,
under Dylan in the CD section there was a card saying Stormy Season out
soon.
Wasn't there also talk of an album in 95/6 called Coupe de Ville?

Yes, and also a hoax about a new album called UFO.
I have always thought that Stormy Season was the original working title
of Time Out of Mind. It seems to fit the subject matter. All of the songs
refer to the weather. Every song.
Love Sick:
And the clouds are weeping
Sometimes the silence can be like thunder
Dirt Road Blues:
Rolling through the rain and hail, looking for the sunny side of love
Standing in the Doorway:
I'm walking through the summer nights
The stars have turned cherry red
When the last rays of daylight go down
Million Miles:
You left me standing out in the cold
Trying To Get To Heaven:
The air is getting hotter
There's a rumbling in the skies
Til I Fell In Love With You:
I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by
Not Dark Yet:
Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Cold Irons Bound:
I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Oh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
Make You Feel My Love:
When the rain is blowing in your face
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
Can't Wait:
The air burns and I'm trying to think straight
Skies are grey, I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow
I'm doomed to love you, I've been rolling through stormy weather
Highlands:
Windows were shakin' all night in my dreams
The wind, it whispers to the buckeyed trees in rhyme
Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low
The sun is beginning to shine on me
But it's not like the sun that used to be
There's no doubt in my mind that Stormy Season was the original title
and was probably changed because it leaked out and Bob didn't want to
be predictable.

Well, this may be a classic mondegreen, but I always thought that was
'mud' (& it rhymes with bluud) That aside, the theory sounds excellent
to me.

"mist" rhymes with "exist"
It's almost like I don't even exist

Was it the Newsweek interview where he talked about how he liked to
stay awake when there were storms st night, suggesting that's when the
songs were written?

A complete hoax, just like Snow On Interstate 80 before it. This first
circulated on the Internet in October 1996 - the hoax album details
and track list were posted to the DylanChat section of Karl Erik
Andersen's Expecting Rain web-site by someone calling themselves "The
Masked Tortilla" (this is the name of the character played by Bobby
Neuwirth in the film "Renaldo and Clara"). The hoax track list given
was:
1 Butcher's Crew
2 The Fire Starter
3 Apollo's Love
4 Police State
5 You Belong To Me - the song included on the 1994 "Natural Born
Killers" film soundtrack
6 Abraham's Altar
7 When You Give Me Your Love
8 Up On The Hill
9 Stormy Season
10 No Compassion
Some of the titles are easy to spot as hoax - Apollo's Love refers to
Bob's notorious antipathy towards the US space programme.

Nevertheless, I still believe that the title was genuine, although the
song names are apparently made up. They are intriguing titles, and not
too far fetched for potential Dylan songs.
