Modern Times, Dylan's first new album in five years, will be available on 8/29.

"Epic... Heartbreaking... Dynamic... Apocalyptic!"

"Dylan looks into the heart of the modern age and tells us what he sees in a vision still commanding and bold."

- Robert Hilburn, Mojo

Dylan Surveys 'Modern Times' On New Album
June 13, 2006, 10:10 AM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Bob Dylan will break a five-year hiatus from the studio later this summer with his 44th album. Due Aug. 29 via Columbia, the 10-track "Modern Times" was recorded earlier this year with Dylan's touring band.

It's the follow-up to 2001's "Love and Theft," the No. 5 debut of which was Dylan's best showing on The Billboard 200 since 1979's "Slow Train Coming." The set has sold more than 757,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"Modern Times" includes such tracks as "When The Deal Goes Down," "Spirit on the Water," "Thunder on the Mountain" and "Workingman's Blues," according to Columbia.

Dylan, who recently began hosting his own "Theme Time Radio Hour" on XM Satellite Radio, is not currently on the road, having wrapped a six-week North American tour last month in Hollywood, Fla.

In other Dylan news, Martin Scorsese's 2005 documentary "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan" won the grand prize and the arts documentary prize last night (June 12) at the 27th Banff Rockie Awards in Banff, Alberta.

So, this would be the long-awaited soundtrack to the Charlie Chaplin film of the same name?

Are you sure it's not a reissue of Al Stewart's 1975 album?

...I'll get me coat.

"Modern Times" was a great Charlie Chaplin movie AND a great Al Stewart album. Let's hope it's a great Dylan album too.

Is this the same Bob Dylan that wrote "Blowin in the wind" ? I was wondering whatever happened to him. Is he a solo act or does he have a band now?

How can he do this at his age? Surely along with Paul Mc Cart knee he sounds like scrooge or worse?

What does age have to do with creativity?

As I have mentioned, his voice sounds great on the radio show- I have high hopes for the new album in that regard, as the songwriting goes without question.

sorefingers, please refrain from Age Discrimination. Didn't you know that "sixty is the new forty"?
