With a career that’s lasted over 60 years, Bob Dylan has had plenty of ups and downs and, after a period of creative struggles, managed to release one of his greatest albums more than three decades into it. While many new listeners will discover Dylan for the first time through Timothée Chalamet's excellent performance in the biopic A Complete Unknown, longtime fans know that there’s a lot more to the singer-songwriter than his hectic days in the 1960s. Even though Bob has had several artistic downturns, what’s impressive is that he has always found a way to renew himself creatively.

From Dylan’s country crooning on divisive albums like Nashville Skyline to the mixed response toward Self Portrait in the early 1970s, even this future Nobel Prize winner's heyday alienated some of his listeners. This willingness to experiment with his style and sound was also part of...

The release of A Complete Unknown means that countless new Bob Dylan fans may feel daunted by the sheer volume of his discography and are unsure of where even to start. While Timothée Chalamet’s incredible portrayal only showcased a brief glimpse into Dylan’s life as he traversed the 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene and made the controversial decision to go electric, this was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to this legend of blues, folk, and rock. With a career that went through many eras, everyone will have a difficult opinion about what Dylan’s best albums were.

While some will prefer Dylan’s earlier, more stripped-back folk records, there are others who will assert that he peaked later in the 1960s as he embraced a more surreal, stream-of-consciousness style of writing. There’s an argument that Dylan was at his poetic best in the 1970s,...

Not long ago, The Edge played Noel Gallagher songs from How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb, a new collection of outtakes from U2’s 2004 LP How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. “His comment was, ‘I want my money back,'” says The Edge. “‘I paid good money back in those days for what I was told were the best songs, and it turns out you were holding out on us.'”

U2 fans will get the chance to see if they agree with Gallagher on Nov. 29 when How to Re-Assemble...

Phil Lesh is one of Mike Gordon’s biggest heroes. Gordon, the bassist for Phish, became aware of the Grateful Dead in high school and soon zoned in on Lesh. The two briefly met at a show in 1993, but it wasn’t until 1999 that they began a friendship that continued until Lesh’s death in October. Here, in a tribute in his own words that’s set to appear in our December print issue, Gordon talks about what he learned from Lesh, their frequent onstage collaborations, and that heartbreaking version...

Let’s start at the end.

“We love you, Robbie!” Mavis Staples exclaimed. “We love you!”

Late Thursday night in Los Angeles, a few minutes shy of midnight, the soul-stirring vocalist had the crowd at the Forum on their feet. Staples had just performed “The Weight” onstage with Bob Weir, Phish frontman Trey Anastasio, and an all-star band for Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson, a tribute show — produced by moment-makers Blackbird Presents — that honored the Band’s guitarist, collaborator of Bob Dylan, and songwriter who...

It’s one last waltz for Robbie and Marty.

Variety reports that Martin Scorsese is directing the filming of a tribute concert dedicated to his late friend and collaborator Robbie Robertson for a concert film. The Blackbird Presents (Outlaw Music Festival)-produced concert, called “Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson,” will take place Thursday at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Plans for the release of the future film have not been set.

Robertson, the legendary musician and songwriter best known for his work with the legendary roots rock outfit The Band, died in 2023 at age 80. His relationship with Scorsese went back to the 1970s, when Scorsese directed “The Last Waltz,” the 1978 star-studded concert film commemorating The Band’s final performance. Robertson then worked as a composer, music supervisor, or consultant on many of Scorsese’s films, including “Raging Bull,” “The Color of Money,” “Casino,” and “The Irishman.

Martin Scorsese will direct the filming of a Robbie Robertson tribute concert in L.A. Thursday night for a future release, it was announced Tuesday morning.

The filming of “Life Is A Carnival: A Musical Celebration Of Robbie Robertson,” a Blackbird Presents production, may provide a kind of bookend to the the first movie Scorsese did with Robertson, when he directed the concert film “The Last Waltz,” which commemorated the last concert the singer-songwriter-guitarist did with his group the Band in 1976.

Prior to the announcement that he would spend the evening overseeing the filming, Scorsese was already serving as one of the executive producers of the concert, along with Jared Levine, Keith Wortman and Scooter Weintraub.

The lineup of artists performing at the show at the Kia Forum Thursday includes Trey Anastasio, Eric Church, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, Bruce Hornsby, Jim James, Daniel Lanois, Taj Mahal, Van Morrison, Margo Price,...

Season 12 of “The Masked Singer” continued Wednesday night on Fox, with the Group A finalists belting out classic hits from “The Soundtrack of My Life.” Following the studio audience vote, Ship became the second singer eliminated (and fourth overall this season), revealing Grammy winner Paula Cole. Watch our video interview above.

“I didn’t even know about the show,” the singer-songwriter and producer admits to Gold Derby. “I did a deep dive and I’m thinking, ‘I don’t know if I want to do this.’ But, they were incredibly kind and then they offered me this gorgeous costume, which looks like an art piece. I think if they had offered me some furry amoeba suit I definitely would not have done it, but it was beautiful and I ended up having so much fun. I just had to embrace joy and get over myself. It was so out of my comfort zone,...

Twenty years after U2 released How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, the band will be unveiling what it calls a “shadow album” from those sessions. How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb, to be released Nov. 29, will include outtakes from the sessions from the 2004 release.

The 10-track album compiles never-heard songs from the making of the original album, including “Treason,” “Happiness,” and “Evidence of Life” as well as “Luckiest Man in the World,” which some fans heard years ago when the song, then known as “Mercy,” leaked online.

Ahead of the Re-Assemble release,...

The announcement of Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, Last Leaf on the Tree, comes with good news and better news. The good news is that the lead single is Nelson’s cover of Tom Waits’ “Last Leaf,” a track that Waits cut with Keith Richards for 2011’s Bad as Me. The better news is that Nelson sings it à la Nelson and doesn’t attempt a gravel-throated Waits impression. Instead, Nelson’s rendition features impressionistic guitar ear candy, a little accordion, and drums that sigh along with Nelson as...

A stunning lineup of musical icons — including Bob Weir, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Trey Anastasio, and Mavis Staples — are coming together Oct. 17, 2024, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles to honor the life and music of Robbie Robertson. The bill for Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson also includes Ryan Bingham, Mike Campbell, Eric Church, Warren Haynes, Jim James, Jamey Johnson, Noah Kahan, Daniel Lanois, Taj Mahal, Van Morrison, Margo Price, Robert Randolph, Nathaniel Rateliff, Allison Russell, Benmont Tench, and Don Was.

Some of the most illustrious names in rock — and other genres — will pay tribute to Robbie Robertson in a celebratory concert at the L.A.-area Kia Forum on Oct. 17, with the musician’s longtime friend and collaborator Martin Scorsese among the executive producers.

The lineup for “Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson” includes some contemporaries who came up with the Band’s late songwriter-guitarist in the ’60s. These include Bobby Weir, Taj Mahal and three artists who appeared with Robertson in the Scorsese-directed 1986 concert documentary “The Last Waltz”: Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and Mavis Staples.

It also includes some musical figures whose stars have risen in the last 15 years or so, like Eric Church, Allison Russell, Nathaniel Rateliff, Margo Price and — a current mainstay of the Billboard album chart’s top 10 — Noah Kahan.

Mostly, though, the roster is full of veteran stars who...

The Outlaw Music Festival Tour has generated much attention due to Willie Nelson’s extended absence from the first two weeks of shows due to illness, Lukas Nelson stepping in for his father with occasional help from guests like Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and Edie Brickell, the triumphant return of Willie on July 4, and the weird Bob Dylan shirt sold every night at the merch stand.

All of that has overshadowed the fact that Dylan is playing some of his loosest concerts in recent memory. After three years of delivering...

U2 wrapped the inaugural residency at Las Vegas’ $2.3 billion technical and visual marvel Sphere this weekend, closing out a 40-show run that started in September. Fittingly, the legendary band did so by bringing things full circle.

The shows commemorated one of U2’s most successful records, the chart-topping 1991 release Achtung Baby, played in its entirety with selected tracks from other U2 efforts over the years. To further honor the album, U2 bandmates Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Bram van den Berg (sitting in during the residency for an ailing Larry Mullen Jr.) welcomed Achtung Baby producer Daniel Lanois to the stage Saturday night to play guitar and sing backup on the track “One.”

“There would be no Achtung Baby without Daniel Lanois,” Bono said in welcoming him up the back stairs with a request to the audience. “Show him your light,” and they did by holding up smartphone flashbulbs in a beautiful scene.

U2 closed out the final night of their Las Vegas Sphere residency by playing the War deep cut “40” for the first time since 2016. The 1983 tune closed out countless U2 shows throughout the Eighties, and it happened to be U2’s 40th show at the Sphere since they opened up the $2 billion venue in September 2023.

Astute fans knew “40” was coming when bassist Adam Clayton and guitarist The Edge swapped instruments, which was a ritual in the group’s early days. “It’s been 40 days and 40 nights in the desert,...

Last month, Brian Eno’s Gary Hustwit-directed documentary, Eno, premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Now, Eno has announced the documentary’s corresponding soundtrack, which will arrive on April 19th via Umr. Along with the announcement, he shared the previously-unreleased song, “Lighthouse #429.”

Spanning 17 tracks from 14 albums — plus three previously-unreleased songs — the Eno soundtrack will show off Eno’s 50-year, including collaborations with artists like Daniel Lanois, Fred again.., David Byrne, John Cale, Roger Eno, and more.

After arriving on April 19th, the Eno soundtrack will be available on CD and vinyl formats, including a limited-edition colored vinyl option with eco-packaging. Physical copies will drop in North America on June 7th, pre-orders are ongoing.

In the release announcing the soundtrack, Eno offered a statement on his creative process: “Picasso once said: ‘Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.’ I don’t wait to be inspired: I start working...

On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.

First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.

Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.

The Pitch: Ain’t It Just Like the Movies to Play Tricks When You’re Trying to Be So Quiet?

As if assembling the greatest songbook in the history of Western music through six decades (and counting!) of nonstop creative growth and experimentation wasn’t enough, Bob Dylan has made a surprisingly large impact on the world of film. In 1966, he helped launch the cinéma vérité movement — and captivated audiences with the mystery of who broke that fucking glass — by allowing D.A. Pennebaker to follow him for the landmark documentary “Don’t Look Back.

In 1986, ten years after the Band had played “The Last Waltz,” its final show with the original lineup, Robbie Robertson decided the time had come to return to music. He’d dabbled in acting and film scoring — not to mention some wild Hollywood times that he would later begin chronicling in the memoir he was writing before his death on Aug. 9. But recording an album under his own name, something he’d never done before, became his new passion in the Eighties.

In search of a sound to call his own,...

Willie Nelson’s 1998 album Teatro stands as one of his latter-day best. It’s an immersive, transcendent listening experience produced by Daniel Lanois that features Emmylou Harris on haunting background vocals and finds Nelson reimagining songs like “Darkness on the Face of the Earth” and “My Own Peculiar Way.” Remarkably, it wasn’t issued on vinyl upon its initial debut and only appeared as a platter during a 2015 Record Store Day release.

Now, a new campaign in honor of Nelson’s recent 90th birthday will rerelease Teatro and 1996’s Spirit on vinyl,...

Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday celebration gathered an eclectic group of well-wishers including Neil Young, Snoop Dogg, and The Chicks for the first of two performances at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on Saturday. Watch fan-captured footage from the event below.

“Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90, A Star-Studded Concert Celebrating Willie’s 90th Birthday” kicked off with perhaps the roster’s youngest performer, Billy Strings, who played two Shotgun Willie staples, “Whiskey River” and “Stay a Little Longer.” He later returned to back Bob Weir on a rendition of “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” from Nelson’s classic 1975 LP, Red Headed Stranger, which received further looks from the likes of Norah Jones, Beck, and Tyler Childers.

Country as a genre was well represented between The Chicks, Margo Price, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, and more, but the set also spanned Nelson’s many musical phases and stages with covers from Tom Jones,...

On an overcast night inside the Hollywood Bowl on April 29, the crowd had barely found their seats when Billy Strings and the band launched into “Whiskey River” at 7 p.m. sharp. After all, this was Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday bash — and no one wanted to waste time.

The Red Headed Stranger might’ve been over a thousand miles away from Spicewood, Texas, but for four hours on a Saturday night, a birthday celebration at the Bowl felt just like partying at home with close friends and family gathered around,...

The late Scott Weiland’s solo debut, 12 Bar Blues, turns 25 on Friday (March 31st). In honor of the milestone, Rhino will release remastered and expanded versions of the album this spring.

12 Bar Blues will get its vinyl debut on Record Store Day (April 22nd), as a limited edition 2-lp set. It will be limited to 7,500 copies on 180-gram translucent blue and green vinyl and available only at select independent music retailers for $34.98. The package will feature the original album with newly remastered audio, as well as three previously unreleased recordings: an acoustic demo of “Barbarella” and session outtakes of “Lazy Divey” and “Chateau Mars.” The latter two songs were on the original promotional version of the album but not included with the commercial release.

Following the Record Store Day release, on May 12th, Rhino will release a deluxe version of 12 Bar Blues featuring more unreleased music. This collection, available digitally,...

A new reissue will provide a deeper look at the late Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland’s first solo album, 12 Bar Blues, with a handful of previously unreleased demos, remixes, and alternate versions of songs. The first bonus track to be released is a demo of “Barbarella,” the album’s lead single, which features a loose, acoustic-leaning arrangement and a few scratch lyrics (the Lost in Space line at the end comes out different.) The song, which shows Weiland’s obsession with Bowie-like sounds circa Hunky Dory,...

Tinariwen have announced their ninth album, Amatssou, out May 19th via Wedge, and shared the project’s lead single, “Tenere Den.”

Amatssou, which translates to “beyond the fear” in the group’s native Tamashek, was recorded inside a makeshift studio tent at Tassili N’Ajjer National Park in Algeria. At the same time, revered Grammy-winning producer Daniel Lanois handled production remotely from Los Angeles, country musicians Wes Corbett and Fats Kaplin added parts from Nashville, and Kabyle percussionist Amar Chaoui contributed from Paris. The truly global effort stands firmly in the Tuareg collective’s present as they aimed to address Mali’s current sociopolitical struggles.

Tinariwen will supplement Amatssou with a stretch of summer US tour dates that serve as their first extended live outing in the country since 2019. The trek launches in Chicago on May 27th and hits Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, and more before wrapping in Washington,...

Near the end of U2’s new album, Songs of Surrender, the band kicks into the familiar opening chords of their 1980 breakthrough single “I Will Follow.” But there are no drums, bass, or electric guitar, and Bono quickly begins singing new lyrics that better fit his perspective on life at age 62, rather than 22.

“I was on the outside when you said, you said you needed me,” he sings. “In the mirror a reflection of the boy I can never be/A boy tried hard to be a man/His mother...

Most editions of Bob Dylan’s three-decades-and-running Bootleg Series focus on a particular phase of his career, but a few have zoomed in on the making of an especially hallowed record. As its title makes clear, that’s the case with Fragments—Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997), the 17th volume in the series. That one album is blown out into a five-disc package, which includes two full sets of unissued outtakes and another of live recordings from the Dylan-comes-alive tours that followed in the record’s wake.

As much as that sounds like overkill,...

When Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind hit shelves on Sept. 30, 1997, it was hailed by fans and critics as his best work in decades. The Daniel Lanois-produced LP won a Grammy for Album of the Year, kickstarted an incredible period of renewed vitality for Dylan, and forever silenced any doubters who felt he’d never recapture the magic of his early years. Just about the only person unhappy with the album was Bob Dylan himself.

“I felt extremely frustrated, because I couldn’t get any of the up-tempo songs that I wanted,...

An array of Canadian artists have donated rare items for an important cause.

Geddy Lee, The Tragically Hip and Billy Talent are among musicians to have given up items to raise money for the Healing in Harmony Holiday Auction in support of trauma survivors.

The fundraiser, also featuring Oscar Peterson, Corey Hart, and more, will help Toronto-based non-governmental organization Make Music Matter expand its innovative music therapy program for marginalized communities.

The online fundraiser is set to run from November 24 to December 4, and will include everything from personalized autographed guitars to never before seen photos, event passes, merchandise, professional services for musicians, and more.

Geddy Lee has donated a signed Signature Fender Jazz bass, while Billy Talent and Sum 41’s Jason “Cone” McCaslin have also donated signed guitars.

Alessandro Nivola has always been an actor’s actor, but in the last handful of years, audiences are catching up to the fact that he’s one of the most versatile performers in town. From an Orthodox rabbi in Sebastian Lelio’s Disobedience to Tony Soprano’s tragic mentor in The Many Saints of Newark, Nivola has that unique ability to disappear into his characters. The Boston native is currently starring alongside Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza in Jeff Baena’s Spin Me Round, which subverts the romantic comedy genre in a welcomed way. Nivola is mostly known for drama, but he’s grateful for Riley Stearns’ indie black comedy The Art of Self-Defense (2019), as it’s created more and more of these comedic opportunities for him.

Nivola recently reunited with his A Most Violent Year director J.C. Chandor in Kraven the Hunter,...

The third volume of the massive, ambitious, and unique project, For the Birds — in which hundreds of artists created new recordings inspired by birdsongs — has arrived today, July 29, with music from artists like the Beastie Boys’ AdRock and Wild Belle singer-songwriter Natalie Bergman.

AdRock’s contribution “Pasadena Parrots” clocks in at just under a minute and begins with some screeching and squawking that gives way to a rush of hardcore guitars peppered with some laser-like synths. Bergman, meanwhile, has turned in a sweet and charming tune, “The Little Bird,” that...

Robert Plant is highly amused by Paul McCartney’s dubbing the Rolling Stones “a blues cover band,” perhaps in part because his own old band faced similar criticism. “I don’t think there’s any fighting,” he says in the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now. “They’ve known each other since 1963. They love each other desperately.” Still, if there’s any animus, he knows how to resolve it: McCartney, he says, “should just play bass with the Stones.”

The singer was joined on this episode by Alison Krauss,...

This week is the 30th anniversary of U2’s landmark album Achtung Baby, and they’re marking the occasion by announcing vinyl reissues of the album (out Nov. 19) and a 50-track digital box set (out Dec. 3), which will feature 22 songs that have never been released digitally.

They’ve also re-teamed up with the Berlin-based French artist Thierry Noir, who created the band’s iconic Trabant cars on the 1992 Zoo TV tour, for a new art installation at Hansa Studios in Kreuzberg, Germany. It includes a newly pained Trabant car and...

There are so many legendary aspects of The Sopranos that it’s hard to pick just one. Between masterful storytelling, deep character development, and uncanny acting, everything comes together to create a show that has been enjoyed for over two decades now. The most artistic aspect of the package, however, may just be the use of music, specifically the unique songs curated personally by creator David Chase that run during each episode’s end credits.

Ranging from oldies, foreign ballads, jazz compositions, and pure instrumentals, the variety is stunning and can keep you exploring the track list of the series for days. We’ve decided to narrow all of the end credit songs down to the best 15 in the series, listed in chronological order of airing. Enjoy!

Ignored, maligned and hammered out into an ‘Alan Smithee’ extended cut for TV, David Lynch’s outstanding Sci-fi epic arrives on 4K Ultra HD, finally achieving the visual opulence on home video that it had in 70mm prints at the end of 1984. The fractured, de-Lynched storyline can be argued over, but the amazing design and arresting characterizations never fail to impress — Lynch attracted a world-class cast of movie stars and used them well. Even if it’s described as a hundred fragmented scenes from a larger narrative, they’re superlative fragments. Lynch should have been authorized to make an alternate cut, his own completely personal ‘impressionist’ version of the Frank Herbert story.

Bob Dylan’s Infidels-era Bootleg Series won’t arrive until September, but a source close to the Dylan camp says they’re already thinking about the next one. “I hate to give this stuff away,” says the source, “but I think there’s a good chance we’ll do Time Out of Mind next year because it’s the 25th anniversary.”

Daniel Lanois has shared a new song, “Torn Again,” which features a recording of Leonard Cohen reciting a poem. The ethereal number is driven by a steel slide guitar part by Rocco Deluca, which creates a layered backdrop for Cohen’s mournful lines.

U2 had a lot to prove when they started work on 2000’s All That You Can’t Leave Behind. The electronic experimentation of 1997’s Pop turned off many longtime fans, and the album failed to generate any genuine hits. The PopMart stadium tour may have been a technical triumph, but there were huge sections of unsold tickets in several North American markets and many critics couldn’t resist labeling the whole affair “FlopMart.”

This was also a time when Trl-friendly acts like Eminem, Blink-182, Korn, and Britney Spears dominated the Top 40 charts.

Film music producer Hal Willner has died in New York on Tuesday, April 7, at the age of 64 from symptoms consistent with the coronavirus.

As Brian Fallon approached his 40th birthday last January, he was thinking long and hard about what type of music was going to define the second half of his artistic life. “Hitting 40, you take stock: ‘How much time do I got left?'” he says, calling from his home in New Jersey, where he’s been holed up in quarantine with his wife and kids.

Two years earlier, Fallon had reunited his Jersey-rock band Gaslight Anthem for a successful string of shows celebrating the 10th anniversary of their breakout album...

Brian and Roger Eno present a journey through a strange but familiar landscape in the new visual for “Celeste,” the first offering from the brothers’ first-ever collaborative album Mixing Colours.

“Celeste” is the first in a series of seven Mixing Colours visuals directed by Brian Eno and software designer Peter Chilvers that “marries the simplicity and contemplative qualities of its soundscapes with suitably uncomplicated, mesmerizing imagery of slowly changing, dreamlike panoramas,” Deutsche Grammophon said of the visuals.

“Nearly all of the work on this album was done on trains,” Brian Eno said in a statement.

Brian Eno will release his first joint album with brother Roger on March 20th via Deutsche Grammophon.

The album, titled Mixing Colours, will include 18 new tracks composed by the duo, all of which are named after hues like “Burnt Umber” and “Verdigris.” The pair shared the first song off the album, titled “Celeste,” which was composed and produced by the brothers.

Not a lot of people can get away with uttering the word “puppet” sans laughter. Leonard Cohen was not “a lot of people.” Perhaps because he had a voice that would have gravitas even while ordering a burger and fries. Perhaps because he was both a musician and a seer.
