The new Rolling Stone gives the new Dylan 5 stars, extremely rare for them. They give
it a lengthy review and even write about the making of it in a separate piece. Seems
that it was done over 2 weeks, with Dylan writing much of it in the studio as they
went along. Guitarist Charlie Sexton says that Bob would decide that a song needed
some more verses, and would sit and write them on the spot. Dylan also produced it
himself, using the pseudonym "Jack Frost".
It's in stores Tuesday. I intend to check it out, along with new releases by They
Might Be Giants & Ben Folds (YAY!)
