Bob Dylan archives end up right where they belong 2 click Administrative Clerk - Multiple Positions Key Personnel 04.02.16Tulsa, OK (74145) Warehouse Position - Multiple Positions Get More Than A Paycheck Osage Casino Jared & The Mill: Western Expansion (Self-released)US: 17 Sep 2013UK: 17 Sep 2013 All signs indicate the nouveau folk renaissance isn’t losing steam anytime soon, with new bands joining in the fray at an exponential level. Of course, the inherent challenge of any upcoming group is to assert their individuality and present what it is about them that warrants more attention than is received by the rest, and this is especially true in a lucrative and popular genre. The Phoenix sextet Jared & The Mill manages to be one of those outfits to stamp their distinctiveness, employing and expanding upon previously understated textures in Americana folk. Now, on first listen of the group’s debut LP, Western Expansion, the comparisons to trendsetters Mumford & Sons is almost a requisite — the abundance of the banjo, the earnest vocals, the rollicking melodies and jaunty rhythms. A stylistic shift occurs with subsequent track “Returning Half”, wherein a western guitar arises in a dirty, electric sweep.

How Bob Dylan Found His New Voice on 'Nashville Skyline' In June 1969, two months after Nashville Skyline landed in stores, Bob Dylan told Rolling Stone founder Jann S. Wenner that he'd originally had a different name in mind for his latest album. "The title came up John Wesley Harding, Volume II," he said. The 50 Best Albums of 2016 The Montclair, N.J. group Pinegrove have two logos: one, a small box intersected with an identical box, is favored among their legions of young and tattooed fans, as evidenced in an endless stream of RTs on the band’s page. The other is an ampersand. This summer, when Pitchfork interviewed the band’s frontman, Evan Stephens Hall—a 27-year-old of highly enthusiastic, bookish charisma—he said he’d thought about publishing a pamphlet on Pinegrove iconography. Both symbols, he said, are intended to reflect an ethos of multiplicity, of many simultaneous realities, and thus of radical empathy. On Cardinal, Hall’s plainspoken lyrics belie this epistemological headiness, but you can feel the compassion in their raw alt-country arrangements, in phrases that reach and erupt. Pinegrove songs are appealingly episodic.

Quite a Garage Sale: 11 Highlights From the Bob Dylan Archive Photo For decades, Bob Dylan has offered up glimpses of himself with the “Bootleg” series of outtakes and demos. But until now, nobody knew exactly what the Bob Dylan Archive held: more than 6,000 items from Mr. Dylan’s personal collection, almost none of which have been seen publicly before. Best Dylan covers 2 clicks for videos Getty Image On Friday, Bob Dylan released Fallen Angels, his second straight album of all covers, the first being last year’s Shadows In The Night. While these albums have focused on songs recorded by Frank Sinatra, many contemporary artists have given their brilliant takes on Dylan’s work. Today, we look at 10 of the finest Dylan covers ever recorded. Of course, his songs have been performed hundreds of times, and there was a ton to choose from, so there’s naturally going to be some disagreement.

Bob Dylan's First Permanent Public Work Of Art - Santa Monica Observer When MGM National Harbor opens its doors in Prince George's County, Maryland later this year, guests will be ushered into the $1.3 billion resort casino through "Portal," a sculpted iron archway designed by legendary folk artist Bob Dylan. The 26-foot by 15-foot custom piece will adorn the west entrance as part of the property's art collection and is Dylan's first permanent work of art for a public space. "Mr. Dylan is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians of our time, but his incredible metalwork sculptures are a testament to his creative genius and ability to transcend mediums," said Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International.

How Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize-winning lyrics serve humanity Last week’s announcement that Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature provoked mixed feelings in American literary circles. While many fans rejoiced, some authors like Jodi Picoult wondered if a musician getting a literary prize now qualifies book authors to win Grammys. Even my friend David Wolf, an English professor who plays Dylan songs with a rock band and taught a course on Dylan at Simpson College in Iowa, found the choice problematic.

'I was left speechless': Bob Dylan breaks two-week silence over Nobel prize Bob Dylan was left speechless by the news that he was to be awarded the Nobel prize for literature, he has said, breaking more than two weeks of silence since the announcement. The artist was criticised as “arrogant” by a prominent member of the academy that awards the prize last week, having failed to respond to repeated calls. Even a brief acknowledgement of the award was removed from his website soon after it appeared. But, in a call with Sara Danius, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, Dylan said: “I appreciate the honour so much,” adding: “The news about the Nobel prize left me speechless.”

Great artists cover Bob Dylan Bob Dylan finally acknowledged his Nobel Prize and plans to attend the ceremony on Dec. 10 "if at all possible." Why didn't he acknowledge it earlier? According to his friend David Crosby, Dylan "doesn't have a cellphone" and is really bad about checking his email. How Bob Dylan Invented the Rock Star "What we were doing, nobody, nobody had quite done that before," Robbie Robertson, who played guitar in Bob Dylan's touring band in 1966, says of that year's remarkable live shows. "It was a different approach to the music. It had a dynamic thing to it, and an explosive thing to it, and a raging thing to it. It had a violent quality along the way to trying to find the beauty."
