Bob Dylan adds dates to upcoming US run
Bob Dylan has added a few US dates to his ongoing Never Ending Tour, which currently finds the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer striding through European cities.
The rock/folk legend will kick off the next leg of the outing Aug. 9 in Pittsburgh, PA. Dylan currently shows 21 North American dates on the calendar through September, with an Aug. 13 show in Asbury Park, NJ, the most recent addition to the itinerary. Domestic dates are listed below, while Dylan's overseas schedule can be viewed at his website.
Dylan continues to support his recent career retrospective, "Dylan." Released last October on his longtime record label, Columbia, the collection is available in two versions: a three-disc, 51-track deluxe edition and an 18-song, single-disc set.
The singer's most recent studio release was 2006's "Modern Times," his first new album of original material since 2001's "Love and Theft." The album shot to No. 1 on The Billboard 200.
According to a recent article in Dutch newspaper De Standaard, Dylan seems poised to release a new collection of odds and ends later this year. "The Bootleg Series Vol. 8" is reported to be a double CD containing outtakes from several of Dylan's recent studio albums, including "Oh Mercy," "Under the Red Sky," "World Gone Wrong" and "Time Out of Mind," as well as unreleased tracks from a studio album Dylan began work on in the early '90s but never completed.
Dylan's previous release in the series, 2005's "No Direction Home: The Soundtrack," featured rarities from early in the singer's career, and was released concurrently with director Martin Scorsese's television documentary of the same name.
The legendary singer/songwriter was awarded an honorary Pulitzer Prize in April, with the awards' committee citing his "profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power." Previous recipients of the award include jazz greats John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk.
