FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 2017 NOT DARK YET, THE LONG-AWAITED COLLABORATION FROM SISTERS SHELBY LYNNE & ALLISON MOORER IS SET FOR RELEASE ON AUGUST 18TH ALBUM FEATURES INSPIRED INTERPRETATIONS OF SONGS FROM BOB DYLAN AND JASON ISBELL TO NIRVANA TO NICK CAVE Nashville, TN - Critically acclaimed artists and sisters Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer will release Not Dark Yet on August 18th via Silver Cross Records / Thirty Tigers. Produced by Teddy Thompson, their first and highly anticipated album together is an extraordinary debut of the pair’s transcendent musical bond. Not Dark Yet was recorded in Los Angeles in the summer of 2016. The album provides a potent look at the sisters’ individual and collective artistry through eclectic song choices from writers ranging from the Louvin Brothers, Nick Cave, Kurt Cobain, and back to Jessie Colter. Shelby and Allison wrap their arms around the past, plant their feet in the present, and nod toward what’s around the bend with a co-written “Is It Too Much,” to close out the ten-song set. Raised in the haunting and beautiful woods of rural Alabama, the sisters sang as soon as they could form words, but music is the only language they have ever needed to communicate with and understand each other. Not Dark Yet offers a glimpse into that understanding for the first time and finally, after years of trying to get it made, at the right time. Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer have pursued separate musical paths, garnering a Grammy, an Oscar nod, and many other awards and nominations along the way. They have collectively released twenty-four albums, but never one together until now. Not Dark Yet is not a duet record. It is no ordinary collaboration. It is not a creation, but rather a celebration of something that has always been, two voices becoming one and finding home within each other.

A MADONNA with GYPSY BLOOD the Love Ideal in Bob Dylan's Songs
A MADONNA WITH GYPSY BLOOD The love ideal in Bob Dylan ’s songs Jan-Hendrik Bakker It was during one of the Poetry International Festivals in the early nineties. Students from the academy for cinematographic art were preparing a documentary about people and their poetic favorites. Their approach was to surprise festival attendees by asking them to recite a poem they knew by heart. Later their recitations would be recorded on video. I still remember it really turned out to be a nice documentary. I happened to become one of their victims. Walt Whitman is my favorite poet, but, unfortunately in this case, I do not know by heart the huge amounts of text that this nineteenth century, bearded bard had produced. So I hesitated for awhile, but after a short time these words came up: Nobody feels any pain,/ tonight as I stand inside the rain/ Everybody knows,/ that baby ’s got new clothes/ but lately I ’ve seen her ribbons and her bows/ have fallen from her curls... One of the young men looked at me as if I had just made a joke. No sorry, this was not what he meant. I said I was sorry too, couldn ’t help it. This kind of poetry is part of my inner system, more than Nijhoff and Hendrik de Vries 1, who, I have to confess, are beautiful poets as well. It must be due to my generation; while others were exposed to the poetry of Jacques Pr évert or Jacques Brel in their childhood days, it was the songs of Bob Dylan, especially his love songs that left their imprints in my blood.

Shakespeare’sin the Alley: Our featured artist, Skye, wasn’t a fan of Bob Dylan’s music when he burst into popularity in the mid 1960s— it was the Beatles who held the then teenager’s ear. Forty years later, in 2008, her viewing of the Martin Scorcese documentary about Dylan, No Direction Home, captured her attention. “I was amazed at what Dylan did at such a young age,” she A Tribute to Bob Dylan February 9-March 17 said. “His courage to speak out [about social planning a tribute concert in honor of Dylan’s change] was profound and his extreme talent 70th birthday.

By: Paul Zollo Date: 1991 Transcribed from GBS #3 booklet "I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot" from "I and I" By Bob Dylan Songwriting? What do I know about songwriting? Bob Dylan asked, and then broke into laughter. He was wearing blue jeans and a white tank-top T-shirt, and drinking coffee out of a glass. "It tastes better out of a glass," he said grinning. His blonde acoustic guitar was leaning on a couch near where we sat. Bob Dylan's guitar . His influence is so vast that everything that surrounds takes on enlarged significance: Bob Dylan's moccasins. Bob Dylan's coat . "And the ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place. The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain" from "Visions of Johanna" Pete Seeger said, "All songwriters are links in a chain," yet there are few artists in this evolutionary arc whose influence is as profound as that of Bob Dylan.

Judas! from Inside A Prune Hello again folks and welcome to issue 7. Seasons come and seasons go, years pass, decades even; a millennium date change has even happened by and still the not-to-be- called-never-ending-tour, never ending tour rolls by. When this issue hits your door- mats Bob will be mid-European tour. We at Judas! central are off to see two shows in Sweden and participate in the Stockholm convention - and hope to see as many of you there as possible - before the UK tour starts, a set of dates made much more attractive by the later additions of Hammersmith and Brixton. Ah, what memories to be rekindled and hopefully new ones to savour too. Inside these pages we bring you another collection of articles that we trust you will enjoy. Again we have aimed for a balance between well known names and newcomers or relative newcomers. This is something we can only maintain if new writers keep coming forward. There’s a plea elsewhere in these pages for photographs, the same goes for new material. A few out there (you know who you are) have started articles, please keep at them, the more new writing blood in the Dylan fanzine world the better as far as I am concerned. Issue Eight will hopefully feature one or more of these, plus articles by established names. Manuel Vardavas’s bootleg column will be back again (presuming something worthy of discussion is released, that is) and it is quite likely we will be taking an in- depth look at SACD and bootleg DVDs from a ‘technology-and-its-impact-on-your- Dylan-entertainment’ standpoint.

Freewheelin-On-Line Take Seven
freewheelin-on-line take seven Freewheelin’ 205 September 2002 The French painter Pierre Bonnard (1867 – 1947) was shackled with an obsessive love for his wife. Consequently, she appears in a lot of his paintings – indeed if you look closely you can see her head, bathed in blue, in the bottom right hand corner of this cover which is taken from a painting by Bonnard. The purpose of the blue above her head is that it matches the blue of the sky and thus it places her close to heaven. The painting is however called ‘The Open Window’ so Pierre, being the jealous kind, wants to draw the viewer away from gloating at his wife towards what is going on outside his lounge in the South of France. Outside the window in my picture, I have Dylan, looking like a deranged gardener with a guitar, walking towards Bonnard’s wife with intent. Pierre won’t be too pleased about that but there is a joint obsession on display here: ours with Dylan and Bonnard’s with his wife. The difference is that our obsession cannot be as intense as Bonnard’s. Of course it can’t. Can it? But hold on a minute, Dylan isn’t looking at Pierre’s wife at all – he is looking straight at us. As Alfred Hitchcock might say: ‘It’s a take!’. 2 Freewheelin-on-line take seven (freewheelin’ 205) Page 4 Magnetic Movements by Chris Cooper 8 Fistful Of Tapes By The Two Riders 11 20 Pounds Of Headlines by Mark Carter The continuing chronicle of Bob Dylan in the Press 14 Wonder Boy by Richard Lewis 16 Hipsters, Flipsters & Finger Poppin’ Daddies by CP Lee 20 It Takes A Lot To Laugh by Mark Carter

Bob Dylan and Religion
ANDREAS HÄGER Bob Dylan and Religion his article is a discussion of the relations of one particular rock artist, Bob TDylan, to religion. Bob Dylan is one of the most influential artists of the rock era. After a career spanning almost fifty years and over forty albums, he still continuously tours around the world. He has been the subject of many biographies and studies. Religion can be seen as a recurring topic in Dylan’s work—particularly during a period at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s, often referred to as his ‘Christian era’—and also in the discourses around him. This article explores how the topic of religion appears in dis- courses around Bob Dylan.1 This article is located within the field of research on religion and popular culture, which has emerged as a small subfield within religious studies during the last decade or so (e.g. Forbes & Mahan 2000; Mazur & McCarthy 2001). The perspective in the field is here a sociological one, where the connection between religion and popular culture is seen as an example of how religion relates to contemporary society. Popular culture is an important part of con- temporary society and one to which religion also relates; popular culture is an area where religion appears today. Here I want to look at one particular aspect of the connection between religion and popular culture: the construction of certain artists or stars as re- ligious figures, and more specifically I will talk about one artist, Bob Dylan, as a case. I want to emphasize that I am not trying to discover whether Dylan is religious or not; nor am I trying to find out which religion he possibly adheres to.

"Not Dark Yet" En Mässa Om Livets Brustenhet 16 September I Annedalskyrkan
"Not dark yet" En mässa om livets brustenhet 16 september i Annedalskyrkan Text och musik av Bob Dylan Mässan är utarbetad av Valle Erling, Mikael Ringlander och Pär Friberg. Valdemar Valle Erling - sång, gitarr och munspel David Ehk – gitarr Anders Sjöling - bas och sång Urban Löfgren – trummor Claes Johansson – keyboards Björn Almgren - percussion och saxofon Gunnar Frick - pedal steel, dragspel, orgel och gitarr Pär Friberg - predikan Gudmund Erling - celebrant Anna Jagell och David Oest - läsning ur Psaltaren Britt Grandin - överlåtelsebön Cecilia Nyholm - tackbön Ljus: Leif Ekring - Chroma Ljusuthyrning AB Ljud: Johan Blomqvist - Prosona AB Arrangörer: Kultursamverkan Svenska Kyrkan, Valdemar och Annedals församling Medarrangörer: Brämaregårdens församling, Haga församling, Högsbo församling och Skolkyrkan Än är det inte mörkt. Men snart. När nittonhundratalet nästan är slut släpper Dylan CD:n "Time Out of Mind " med spåret "Not Dark Yet". Som en sammanfattning av tidens anda och en monolog över hur den egna själen krackelerar. "Feel like my soul has turned into steel I´ve still got the scars that the sun didn´t heal" I samma tonläge ligger Dylans CD "Oh Mercy" som kom 10 år tidigare. Detta är låtar som rymmer en sprödhet och nakenhet som saknar motstycke i västvärldens rockmusik. Livets brustenhet i en samling enkla låtar med en sårbar musik där det vackra inte sällan ligger i de spruckna ljuden, i det som faller isär. Med hjälp av producenten Daniel Lanois lyckas Dylan måla mörka suggestiva landskap. Mässan "Not Dark Yet" bygger fram för allt på sånger från dessa två plattor. Vi möter en Dylan långt ifrån den kaxige protestsångaren från 60-talets Greenwich Village och den salvelsefulle predikanten från slutet av 70-talet.
