• Bob Dylan Gives Houston Some Love on Surprise New Album

  www.bobdylan.comThat wily Bob Dylan has a new album in the can and all set for an April release, and even better, there's a song about Houston on it. The still-untitled album's sudden appearance came as a surprise even to those close to Dylan, Rolling Stone reports. "The disc has the live-in-the-studio feel of Dylan's last two studio records, 2001's Love and Theft and 2006's Modern Times, but with a seductive border-cafe feel (courtesy of the accordion on every track) and an emphasis on s

• RIP Bob Dylan?

  At first, when Rocks Off saw this flyer (right) come over ye olde MySpace, we didn't really give it much thought. It looked like a decent night of tunes from a bunch of dead rockers - maybe some "Lithium", a little "Purple Haze." After all, the night is dedicated to rockers who have gone on to the big festival in the sky, right? But when did Bob Dylan die? You know, Jakob Dylan's dad. The old dude from those "Victoria's Secret ads" a few years back, whose album due in April has a song about

• Get Lit: Million Dollar Bash: Bob Dylan, The Band, and the Basement Tapes by Sid Griffin

  They are perhaps rock's most mythical treasure trove of performances, more than 100 songs recorded on low-quality tape rolling on a 2-track recorder by six musician friends mostly fucking around in 1967. But the legend and impact of the so-called "Basement Tapes" (actually recorded in three different locations) would way outstrip the casual way in which they were recorded. In the process, they would turn the Hawks into the Band, drive Bob Dylan to a new direction (John Wesley Harding, Nash

• Get Lit: Revolution in the Air: The Songs of Bob Dylan 1957-1973 by Clinton Heylin

  Will all due respect to the other major biographers over the years - Scaduto, Shelton, Spitz, and Sounes - it's Clinton Heylin's Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisited that stands as the best and most comprehensive book on the Bard of Hibbing. So it's wholly appropriate that the author takes on the whopping assignment of investigating and explaining the more than 600 original, copyrighted songs written by Dylan - this being the first in a two-volume series. Tackling them chronologically whe

Butka states in the release. "It means getting a bar of soap and washing your hands. Hum to yourself a tune, maybe 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' or 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,' and when y

• Overnight Delivery: Bob Dylan's "If You Ever Go To Houston"

  We thought we'd try something a little different here at Rocks Off today. We're usually gone for the evening by now, but we figure a lot of wait until you get home from work to surf the Web for the day you deserve a reward for your productivity. What? What do you mean you don't? Oh, hell. Anyway, above is Bob Dylan's song "If You Ever Go To Houston" from his brand-new album Together Through Life. Since you've got all this time on your hands this evening, give it a listen or two and let us know

  Well, not that Rocks Off knows of - although, really, what are you people waiting for up there? - but according to our colleagues at 29-95.com, Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson will throw a few high and outside at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion August 2, with tickets going on sale via Ticketmaster May 30. Rocks Off suspects he would have found out about this sooner if he signed up for the same RSS feed - which also alerts fans to Dylan's every sneeze, fart and lyrical rewrite -

  An increasingly prolific genre of the home-DVD market are the independent "review and criticism" releases, which focus mostly on classic-rock artists and are manna for hardcore fans. And no performer has generated more titles than Bob Dylan. This release focuses on dissecting Dylan's least-covered but still very controversial era: the trilogy of tubthumping evangelical releases reflecting Dylan's conversion to Christianity (Slow Train Coming, Saved, Shot of Love), through efforts of a hodgepodge

• He Said She Said: Songs for Getting It On, Part 2

  [Ed. Note: Here's Web Editor Katharine Shilcutt's top 10 picks for baby-makin' music. Now it's the boys' turn.] 1. Ryan Adams, "Come Pick Me Up": This has to work, because it shows vulnerability and warmth. It tells her you are the kind of guy who will be the one to get out of bed to get the Wet Ones or the dry towel. 2. Sam Cooke "Cupid": Chicks dig smooth-ass vocals, and it's got that deep sense of longing and just the right hint of dementia that comes with true love. Seriously, the song is a

  http://www.flickr.com/photos/cosmopolitician/​Sunday night's Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan gig out at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion was an exhibition for an artist in his comfortable twilight, another on the cusp of a new revolution and the last one stoically fighting the violent currents of the wake he created nearly six decades before. Lately we have been studying the longevity and aging of popular rockers, mainly because so many seem to be darkening Houston's doors as of la

  It was 45 years ago this past Friday... that Bob Dylan met the Beatles for the first time and, more importantly for Rocks Off's purposes, introduced them to marijuana. While this meeting of musical titans would never lead to any actual musical collaboration or "Monsters of Hippie Rock" series of concerts, the Fab Four's induction into the 420 Club undeniably steered them away from making songs about holding hands and on to writing tunes about living in a yellow submarine and "elementary penguin

  ​After South Carolina representative Joe Wilson's bush-league grandstander heckling of the President last night - imagine the hue and cry if Nancy Pelosi had done the same thing during one of W's inane lie-filled speeches! - what Lonesome, Onry and Mean needs is some songs about lies and liars.
