Dylan.FM

It's been said that the road to Time Out Of Mind began when Dylan recorded two solo acoustic albums in the early 90's. Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong were yet another unexpected twist in Dylan's path, but by playing alone, at home, on songs he'd known for years, the feeling is Bob reconnected with some important basics that allowed him to regroup and then go forward to write the amazing songs that came out in the late 90's and through the 2000's.

In this first episode of Season Two, we start our look at these two albums, placing them in time, hearing a bit about what it was like to make them, and rediscovering the first reactions of some well known critics and reviewers.

There is a longer version of this episode available. See details below.

A special highlight of this episode is an interview with GAIBTY and WGW engineer Micajah Ryan. This interview was done in 2017 by Brian Sword of The Double Stop podcast. In the full interview Micajah talks about his entire career for about 90 minutes, but here we just feature some of his discussion of working with Bob Dylan. Big thanks to The Double Stop podcast and Brian Sword for permission to include that interview in this episode.

Make You Feel My Love is a song that has received a lot of attention - but not entirely out of admiration - a lot of Dylan fans just don't like it. On this episode Laura Tenschert talks about the song and those reactions.

Laura is a writer, podcaster and musician who runs Definitely Dylan where she looks at art and creativity through the lens of Bob Dylan’s work. Definitely Dylan is a podcast and has an active Patreon with exclusive content and monthly online events. She is also a member of the board at the Institute of Bob Dylan Studies in Tulsa, OK.

There is an Extended Version of this episode, and a video available. Details below.

This Podcast replays a talk Laura give to one of our Members-Only Online events, and then includes the Q&A Session from that day plus another discussion about the song we had a few weeks later. All this gives us time to dig into the song, the controversy it inspires among some Dylan fans and critics, and allows Laura to look more deeply into the song itself.

It turns out Fragments wasn't the last Time Out Of Mind release for the year. A few days ago SuperDeluxeEdition.com made the surprise announcement of a new Time Out Of Mind Blu-Ray disc offering the 2022 Remix in 24/96 High Resolution and the Dolby Atmos Mix. This is on pre-sale until Feb 24, 2023 and then will be out-of-print.

Paul Sinclair of SuperDeluxeEdition.com joins us today to talk about this exciting new Audiophile release. Music fans know the website for sharing info on all cool box sets, but this exclusive release is part of a Spatial Sound Series that Paul has been working on - it's actually the 8th release in the series.

In this conversation we learn how the opportunity to work with Dylan came up, more about the high-res and Atmos mixes, and why the limited edition ordering period. For anyone who cares about hi-res, or has a home theater with 5.1 or better speaker configuration, this is a very interesting offer. Given the limited edition nature, it's also a Dylan collector event as well.

Steven Hyden wrote the liner notes for The Bootleg Series 17: Fragments - The Time Out Of Mind Sessions, and in this episode talks to us about the assignment, his assessment of Bob Dylan in 1997, and how the narrative of the times stood up to 25 years of additional Bob Dylan output.

Hyden is a respected music writer, and his latest book is called Long Road: Pearl Jam and the Soundtrack for a Generation, and he's also the author of Your Favorite Band is Killing Me, Twilight of the Gods and several others. He writes regularly at Uproxx where he is officially the ‘Cultural Critic’, Plus: he has a new Bob Dylan Podcast focusing on Live shows from the Never Ending Tour - called Never Ending Stories.

>> There is an Extended Version and Video of this episode available. Details below.<<

His essay in the CD and LP box sets talks about how Dylan was positioned and perceived in the media around 1997, and how that narrative didn’t exactly align with reality and how 25 years has utterly destroyed the popular assumptions of the time.

In this conversation we talk about how Steven got the gig, what he was asked to do, his thoughts about summing up 60 years of Bob Dylan, what it meant at the time for a 55 year old to make an album, the role Daniel Lanois played, what the new mix and outtakes say about the album, his thoughts on the live tracks that are included, the future of the Bootleg Series, and much more.
