The Rolling Thunder Revue

Nothing Is Revealed / The Dylanologists Archive ·

2025/02/24

White face makeup, a hat with ornate flowers, and an energy, an exuberance yet to be seen from the enigmatic Dylan are on full display in what many consider to be his most iconic era. The Rolling Thunder Revue was a 1975–76 concert tour by Bob Dylan. The purpose of the tour was to allow Dylan to play in smaller auditoriums in less populated cities where he could be more intimate with his audiences. Join Adam and Jens as they give a brief history of the legendary Rolling Thunder Revue.The Podcast:

Desire Revisited

Nothing Is Revealed / The Dylanologists Archive ·

2025/02/17

A ✨Mystical✨ Album Deep Dive Desire is one of Bob Dylan's most fascinating records. It deviates significantly from any of his previous albums in more ways than one. Blood on the Tracks, for example, was a memorial to personal and romantic trauma that traced an outline around a generation who prized individual freedoms to the point of self-annihilating alienation, whereas Desire is about getting stoned and strange and trying to forget all of that. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy one more cup of coffee

Bob Dylan v. The Press

Nothing Is Revealed / The Dylanologists Archive ·

2025/02/10

“Keep a Good Head and Always Carry a Lightbulb” —Bob DylanThroughout his career, Bob Dylan has had a unique relationship with the press. At times, he has expressed concerns that the media misquotes him and takes his answers out of context. He has also said that he doesn't like giving press interviews because of these concerns. In the 60's he had to shed the "Spokesman of a Generation" label that the media was slapping on him. In the 80's, he had to reject the notion that he was a washed up

A Complete Unknown

Nothing Is Revealed / The Dylanologists Archive ·

2025/01/27

Adam & Jens finally share their thoughts on the recent biopic, "A Complete Unknown."“Charged up by Timothée Chalamet's electric performance, this ballad of Bob Dylan might not get under the enigmatic artist's skin but will make you feel like you've spent time in his company.” Inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and idiosyncrasies abound, but maybe that's the point, as Nothing Is Revealed explores A Complete Unknown.

Christmas In The Heart

2024/12/23

An Album Deep Dive "When Bob Dylan—the patron saint of sneering, disaffected poets—announced he was releasing a collection of classic Christmas songs for charity, smirkers got smirkier: What, after all, is more absurd than a beloved iconoclast embracing the schmaltziest, most achingly commercial genre of all? It sounded insane. And it is insane, sort of..." On this episode the guys break down the behind the scenes details of Christmas In The Heart, while sharing their thoughts on the beloved

A Conversation About Bob Dylan's Alternate Takes. Bob Dylan has never played a song the same way twice, whether in the studio or on the big stage. The Bootleg Series has made this abundantly clear. So, what if Dylan had released Take 5 of Visions of Johanna from The Cutting Edge? What if he had released only the New York sessions for Blood On The Tracks? Dylan's unparalleled output, especially early in his career, allows us to imagine how his albums could have sounded had he released an alternate

These questions, and more, are considered on this episode of Nothing Is Revealed as we rewrite Dylan's history. -Apple Music Outtakes

Nothing Is Revealed / The Dylanologists Archive ·

2024/12/02

Planet Waves is the fourteenth studio album by Bob Dylan. It is significant in Dylan's discography, as it is the only official studio album to feature longtime collaborators The Band.

So, we take the time to explore this under-appreciated gem on another installment of our Album Deep Dive series.The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @never.ending.dylan Jens:

No Answer Fit

Bob Dylan once said, "Well, I've been in jail, where all the mail showed that a man can't give his address out to bad company." Well, in this case, the (digital) mail showed that we can give our Instagram out to all sorts of company. This week we are answering some Bob Dylan questions submitted by listeners on Instagram. Some are funny. Some are serious. Some are just weird. Everyone has an opinion on every aspect of Dylan. No answer is fit, but here are our takes... The Podcast:

Wiggling Under The Red Sky

2024/11/04

An "Under The Red Sky" Retrospective. Slick production, nursery rhymes, and a whole lot of wiggling make for a strange Bob Dylan album. As such, Under The Red Sky is often the butt of internet jokes. Is the album as bad as many say it is? How can such a star-studded cast make such a lackluster album? Why is “Wiggle Wiggle” credited to Bob Dylan & The Band on Apple Music? These questions, and more, are explored on this month's album retrospective. Come for the "Wiggle Wiggle" discussion. Stay for

Deep Down In The Groove

Nothing Is Revealed / The Dylanologists Archive ·

2024/10/07

A "Down In The Groove" Retrospective The music critic Michael Gallucci once stated: “Dylan has made some perplexing and even lazy records over the years; none, though, sounds as pointless as Down in the Groove." Is this true? Does the album really deserve the hate that is often receives? Is it objectively bad? These questions, and more, are explored as we reevaluate the "tragically misunderstood" album.
