Scott Warmuth is a Dylan fan, scholar, and researcher who is known as the guy who discovered the 'late period' writing style of Bob Dylan by identifying hundreds of influences and borrowed lyric sources across all kinds of books, movies, magazines, and more.

In this episode he points his magnifying glass at Time Out Of Mind and shares with us some of the sources that 'inspired' Dylan as he was creating the songs on this album. We'll hear about Henry Rollins, Johnny & Jack, and others who's writings have inspired or empowered the lyrics of Bob Dylan.

The premise of the book is that Time Out Of Mind represents a series of dreams, and that the songs on the album make up a single connect song cycle. From there Graley finds what he calls three ‘dimensions of experience’ filtered through the songs -- The first is Murder Ballads, the second is Religious Allegory, and the last is Race in America. The bulk of the book is made up of him showing how the lyrics and songs reflect each of these dimensions.

Professor Herren’s book goes deep into the possible meanings and motivations behind the songs on Time Out Of Mind. He’ll present thoughts on how ‘murder ballads’ might play a role in explaining the unified message on this album.

In the talk you’re about to hear, Graley summarizes and gives examples of his analysis of the lyrics of Time Out Of Mind in relation to Murder Ballads. This is a recording of a talk he gave to our Premium Members a few months ago, and in the interest of time he narrowed his focus to share just a sliver of one of the book’s three theses.

Mark Howard is an accomplished Engineer, Producer and Musician - who worked with Bob Dylan as the Engineer on two of his most loved albums: Oh Mercy and Time Out Of Mind. In this conversation Mark tells us about the everything from the very beginning when Dylan drove himself up to the Teatro Studio for a different project, to 3am phone calls when Mark encouraged Bob to come finish the songs they'd recorded and then put out Time Out Of Mind.

In between we hear some great stories from inside the recording studio.

Time Out Of Mind followed 20 years in which Dylan was not always loved. In this episode we look at his career from 1977 through 1996 to understand where he was and to highlight how remarkable a comeback this album really was. We'll revisit the less successful years and see how his relationship with fans, the press, and the culture had changed, and how it was impacted by the release of Time Out Of Mind.

We've lived for 25 years in which Dylan is universally revered - and the other period we hear about is the 60's and early 70's, when he was at the peak of his power and fame. This episode talks about the time between those two, when Dylan was out of favor, out of ideas, and low on energy. It was the land before TOOM.
