It has been commented on in terms of interpretation of the lyrics of his songs, of their musical treatment, and of the distinctiveness of Dylan’s performance style, while Dylan himself has been treated both as an important figure in the world of popular music, and also as an artist, as a significant poet.

  • Bob Dylan Performs “It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009
    Volume 19, Number 4, December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Society for Music Theory A Foreign Sound to Your Ear: Bob Dylan Performs “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009 * Steven Rings NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.13.19.4/mto.13.19.4.rings.php KEYWORDS: Bob Dylan, performance, analysis, genre, improvisation, voice, schema, code ABSTRACT: This article presents a “longitudinal” study of Bob Dylan’s performances of the song “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” over a 45-year period, from 1964 until 2009. The song makes for a vivid case study in Dylanesque reinvention: over nearly 800 performances, Dylan has played it solo and with a band (acoustic and electric); in five different keys; in diverse meters and tempos; and in arrangements that index a dizzying array of genres (folk, blues, country, rockabilly, soul, arena rock, etc.). This is to say nothing of the countless performative inflections in each evening’s rendering, especially in Dylan’s singing, which varies widely as regards phrasing, rhythm, pitch, articulation, and timbre. How can music theorists engage analytically with such a moving target, and what insights into Dylan’s music and its meanings might such a study reveal? The present article proposes one set of answers to these questions. First, by deploying a range of analytical techniques—from spectrographic analysis to schema theory—it demonstrates that the analytical challenges raised by Dylan’s performances are not as insurmountable as they might at first appear, especially when approached with a strategic and flexible methodological pluralism.

    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.

  • Bob Dylan, Winston Watson, Joel Gilbert: Movies & TV Posted by Admin | on 7 April, 04:19 AM DVD |
    Bob Dylan Never Ending Tour Diaries: Drummer Winston Watson’s Incredible Journey: Bob Dylan, Winston Watson, Joel Gilbert: Movies & TV Posted by admin | on 7 April, 04:19 AM DVD | Bob Dylan Never Ending Tour Diaries: Drummer Winston Watson’s Incredible Journey: Bob Dylan, Winston Watson, Joel Gilbert: Movies & TV Pete Howard - contributed editor Rolling Stone Magazine The successful formula lays in the charming charisma of drummer Winston Watson (who narrates the whole thing) and Gilbert’s crisp production style. It’s hard to imagine another Dylan sideman in the 20-year history of the Never Ending Tour being as entertaining, candid, self-effacing and likeable as Watson, who comes up with one fascinating story after another, supported by his own personal videos and Gilbert’s clever art direction. Before long, you realize his string of anecdotes has exceeded an hour and you don’t want the show to end. Whether it’s seeing his home videos of George Harrison and Neil Young rubbing elbows with a cigarette-smoking Dylan backstage, or hearing Watson relate the one chewing-out he ever received from his boss , if you have a Dylan-esque bone in your body, you’re on the edge of your seat the whole time. It would sound cliché-ish to label this film “a rare personal peak inside the touring apparatus of a true American national treasure,” but that’s exactly what this DVD is. Not to be missed. Product Description Drummer Winston Watson performed 400 shows with Bob Dylan over five years, traveling the world 10 times over.

  • Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This File Contains the Pre-Proof
    Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This file contains the pre-proof versions of Chapter One and Chapter Five from Bob Dylan, presented here in this format with the permission of Equinox Publishing. I have called this text Bob Dylan Musician because this was the original agreed title of the book right up to the moment just before publication when pressure from the US publisher resulted in the term ‘musician’ being reluctantly (from my perspective) expunged from the title. That word – musician – was there to concisely signal how my approach differs from most other books on Bob Dylan. I am interested in his work and practice as a musician, rather than his lyrics as poetry or the relationship between his biography and musical art. The book contains five chapters, so these two chapters introduce and conclude the study. If anyone would like electronic copies of additional chapters I am happy to provide these, as long as they are used only for research and teaching. Keith Negus June 2013 CHAPTER ONE Surroundings On 31 October 1964 Bob Dylan performed at the Philharmonic Hall in New York City, just two years after signing a recording contract and with four albums already released. Having quickly gained recognition as a folk ‘protest singer’ he was rapidly moving away from songs of social commentary and ‘finger pointing’. Dylan was beginning to use the popular song in a new and radical manner to explore more internal or subjective experiences, whilst experimenting with the sound, meaning and rhythm of words. Within three months, when recording his fifth album, no longer performing alone with acoustic guitar and harmonica, he was beginning to create an abrasive yet ethereal sonority, mixing the acoustic and electric textures of folk, electric blues, rock’n’roll, gospel, country and pop.

    Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 3-6 Bob Dylan: A Giant Among the Greats Any short list of “greatest songwriters ever” includes Bob Dylan’s name. But Dylan stands alone for his impact on both music and culture. When Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012, President Barack Obama declared, “There is not a bigger giant in the history of American music.” When Rolling Stone compiled a list of greatest songs of all time, Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” was at the top. And when Time magazine selected the hundred most important people in the world during the twentieth century, Dylan was among them. Born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, on May 24, 1941, Dylan began writing poetry as a boy, bought a guitar pop stars turned his tunes into Top Forty hits and added to at age fourteen, and soaked up country, folk, blues, and rock his fame. on the radio.

At age twenty, he changed reinventing his music again and again and experimenting his last name and joined New York’s emerging folk scene. He across genres. In 1998, in the fourth decade of his career, he quickly earned a recording contract and poured himself into won a Grammy for Album of the Year—an amazing feat that songwriting. speaks to his depth of talent. “I learned lyrics and how to write them from listening to folk “Everybody owes a debt” to Dylan, says rock legend Bruce songs,” Dylan explained in 2015.
