Bob Dylan: Still rolling, still blowingnew

Once again Bob Dylan, now 71, is on the cover of magazines. His new disc, Tempest, is near the top of the charts. And yet to many, too many, especially to those under 40, Dylan is worse than an enigma or a mystery, he is a story where the plot is too far advanced to join in.

In the first official release of Bob Dylan's legendary publishing demos (47 songs, 15 of which have never before been released), it's stunning to see how early the talent, the power and even Dylan's chameleon-like instincts for transformation were in evidence.

John Hammond Recalls His Meetings With Clapton, Hendrix, Dylan and Waitsnew

John Hammond's latest Grammy nomination is for last year's Rough & Tough album, which he recorded at the landmark St. Peter's Church in New York City. Were he not so talented and accomplished in his own right, it would be easy to dismiss Hammond as the music world's version of Woody Allen's Leonard Zelig.

Bob Dylan's Legendary Grinnew
There's a reason he's pegged his concerts as the "Never Ending Tour": The only way he's been able to stay out in front has been to convince us -- and himself -- that he's still an active, modern artist, whose career is far from ending. It's hard, though, because the past keeps getting reinforcements.
