Isis Magazine reports that when Bob Dylan went into a studio last October to record music for an upcoming film, starring Renée Zellweger and Forest Whitaker, he liked the recordings so much he decided to work on his own new record. The currently untitled album was recorded in California and the final ten tracks were sequenced in January, Isis reports.
The album, which started out as a soundtrack to the Oliver Dahan-directed film My Own Love Song, is being sampled in Europe before getting an official release date. “Jeff Rosen has brought the finished album to Europe for listening sessions in various cities including London, Munich and Oslo,” sources said.
These are the first details from a reputable source (Isis and Uncut) about the long-rumored follow-up to Dylan’s 2006 LP, Modern Times. It will be Bob Dylan’s 33rd studio album.
