Dylan Tour and New Album Still on
Track
Bob Dylan remains hospitalized in Los Angeles
suffering from a chest infection initially diagnosed as
histoplasmosis, but the legendary singer-songwriter
could be back on the road as soon as August. His new
album, Time Out of Mind, also appears to be on
schedule for its planned September release. One
well-placed source says that Dylan will check out of
the hospital this weekend and convalesce at home for
several weeks. Dylan's son, lead Wallflower Jakob
Dylan, felt confident enough about his father's health to
continue his band's European tour. While the elder
Dylan's own scheduled European tour with Van
Morrison has been canceled, arrangements for a
two-month U.S. tour are going ahead as planned, with
a fully recovered Dylan expected to be ready to play
come August. The upcoming tour is distinct from
Dylan's typical treks of recent years in that he is
sharing the bill with a couple of hot young artists:
country-rockers BR-549 and singer-songwriter Ani
DiFranco, both said to have been hand-picked by the
man himself to open the shows.
Meanwhile, Dylan's September release, Time Out of
Mind, is eagerly anticipated by his fans. Following two
CDs of cover songs--1992's Good as I Been to You and 1993's World
Gone Wrong--Time Out of Mind is Dylan's first album of original
material since 1990's poorly received Under the Red Sky. The set
was produced by Daniel Lanois, who also helmed 1989's Oh Mercy,
generally considered to be Dylan's finest album of the past decade.
According to musician Jim Dickinson, who played on the sessions
for Time, the new songs were written while Dylan was snowbound on
a trip to his native Minnesota, a detail that lent credibility to an
Internet rumor that the album would be titled Stormy Season. "He
told his manager five years ago he'd never write any more songs, that
the world had enough Bob Dylan songs and it was going to get
confusing," Dickinson told the Memphis Commercial Appeal earlier
this year. Apparently, the legendary singer-songwriter changed his
mind: "He decided a new audience deserved new songs," Dickinson
says. Indeed, one cut on the new album clocks in at seventeen
minutes, a fact that prompted his manager to ask if he was going to
do a shorter version. Dylan's reply: "That is the short version."

does this album title strike anyone but me as sounding like a cliche? i
know i shouldn't be bitching, but i quite liked stormy season. of
course the name change simpy gives the bootleggers a title to use when
they release the heylin approved superior-to-the-official cd ;).

Yup. I thought "Micheal Bolton" when I heard the title. However, we shouldn't fixate just yet..
"TOOM" could easily give way to a new "official" title just as both "Stormy Season" and
"Coupe de Ville" did before it..

Neither of which originated anywhere other than in the delusional
fantasies of a few Dylan fans, as far as I can tell. Certainly I know
the latter is a boring old rec.music.dylan hoax. Regarding the former,
I've never seen anything to suggest it was anything other than a false
rumour which, along with a false track listing, was left unchallenged
for so many months that it appeared to gain credibility here and in some
of the print media. Internet hoaxes live on forever - a joke is not just
for April Fools Day, it's for life (to steal a phrase). We'll be getting
questions about Whatever Happened To Dylan And PJHarvey's Love Child for
many years to come, I'm sure. Such is the internet.

Except Stormy Season and Coupe de Ville were never serious titles.
Stormy Season was clearly noted as a joke, odd how it grew. Coup de
Ville was also not taken seriously by anyone sensible.
Time Out Of Mind is now publicly the title of the forthcoming album.

Don't forget the wonderful album parody "UFO" that causes quite a few
posts a couple of years ago.

Apple dog rag, its allright

You mean that's not really a Dylan classic?
