What can be said about Bob Dylan that hasn’t been said before? A titan of popular culture whose influence and legacy may never truly be fully appreciated until long after any of us have had the chance to cast our final judgement.
Folk troubadour, protest singer, country and western film star, gospel preacher, traditional bluesman, archetypal rock and roll star, to name but a few. Dylan has seen, and shaped it all. Though in his own words…‘I think of myself as just a song and dance man’.
In recent years, Dylan’s decades long ‘Never Ending Tour’ was brought to an abrupt halt by the pandemic. Instead, he chose 2020 to drop his 39th studio album release (yes…thirty nine), with the somewhat out of the blue Rough and Rowdy Ways dropping like a cultural vaccine.
