Description

Bob Dylans new studio album, Tempest, will be released on September 11, 2012. Featuring ten new and original Bob Dylan songs, the release of Tempest coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the artists eponymous debut album, which was released by Columbia in 1962. The new album, produced by Jack Frost (pseudonym for Dylan himself), is the 35th studio set from Bob Dylan, and follows 2009s worldwide best-seller, Together Through Life.

The album [includes] a John Lennon tribute entitled Roll on John, which quotes lines from multiple Beatles songs, including Come together right now from Come Together and I heard the news today, oh boy from A Day in the Life. The title track is a 14-minute epic about the sinking of the Titanic, which actually refers to a scene from James Camerons 1997 film Titanic at one point. The chorus of another standout track, Pay in Blood, includes the line, Ill pay in blood, but not my own.’ Andy Greene, Rolling Stone
