A Bob Dylan Album

Much though I respect the man’s stubborn muse, I have ended up imagining in pretty considerable detail the album I wish Bob Dylan would make, wherein, compelled by the tragedy of Trump’s America, Bob returns to his protest routes, while combining elements of his austere early-60s roots with echoes of the mid-70s “Rolling Thunder” tours.

The album will be co-produced by Dylan and Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, with backing vocals/duets by and with Mavis Staples and Emmylou Harris:
