Album or podcast - what is it?
I have been participating in book clubs lately and I found one on Bob Dylan and something called Blood on the Tracks. I didn't remember it as an album (silly me!), and when I searched for a book, I found a multi-episode podcast of the same name, so I listened to that in preparation (veeerrry interesting stuff!).
Tonight I showed up for the meeting and the topic was the album, not the podcast, lol. So... I have now downloaded the album to listen to night.
Blood on the Tracks - The Podcast
BLOOD ON THE TRACKS is part true crime, part historical fiction, part spoken word lo-fi beat noir brought to you by Jake Brennan, host of the the award-winning music and true crime podcast DISGRACELAND.
Blood on the Tracks Season 3: A Bob Dylan Story
In 1966, Bob Dylan crashed his Triumph motorcycle on a road in upstate New York. And then he disappeared. For ten days, as Dylan recovered privately in the house of a local doctor, no one knew where he was. When he resurfaced, he was transformed. He looked different. He sounded different. What exactly happened to Bob Dylan during those ten days? Was he simply recovering from injuries sustained during the accident? Detoxing from heavy drug use? Was he suffering a mental breakdown? Or had the Bob Dylan you thought you knew...died?
Blood on the Tracks - The Album
Blood on the Tracks is the fifteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on January 20, 1975, by Columbia Records. The album marked Dylan's return to Columbia Records after a two-album stint with Asylum Records. Dylan began recording the album in New York City in September 1974. In December, shortly before Columbia was due to release the album, Dylan abruptly re-recorded much of the material in a studio in Minneapolis. The final album contains five tracks recorded in New York and five from Minneapolis.
