Eternel Dylan

Ce double album se retrouvera dans le coffret Bob Dylan : The Bootleg Series volume 10 qui contiendra le fameux
concert de l’Isle de Wight de 1969, l’édition d’origine de Self Portait deux livres dont l’un avec les photos de John Cohen et d’Al Clayton et une reproduction exclusive d’un autoportrait qui figurait dans l’album original de 1970. Les 50 ans de carrière de Bob Dylan sont aussi l’occasion pour lui d’exposer jusqu’au 5 janvier 2014 une douzaine de ses toiles à la National Portrait Gallery de Londres.

Alors même si en concert il est de plus en plus décevant, cette nouvelle pierre à son édifice discographique risque d’écrabouiller la concurrence. Pretty Saro, le premier extrait est une chanson traditionnelle du 18ème siècle que Jennifer Lebeau a mis en images à l’aide de photographies des années 40 à 60 trouvées à la Bibliothèque du Congrès. On retrouve donc avec bonheur la voix claire du Dylan d’une époque bénie posée sur quelques accords de guitare.
