Tell Tale Signs may havecontained songs recorded over the course of 2 decades, but the vast majority hadn't been heard by anyone. So in effect it was like a new album from Bob Dylan.
And now we get another one... in a little more than month! Very very cool.
Here's the Rolling Stone write-up.

I hope it's good. I have to admit, I'm a bit thrown by the line "I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver/And I'm reading James Joyce/Some people tell me I got the blood of the land in my voice"....quoted from a song identified as "I Feel a Change Comin' On". But, you know, I'm still thrilled. Bring it on!
Thinking about it for a minute, I guess that line is no stranger/stupider than a million other bizarre Dylan lines in great songs. Maybe it's just that a vapid, hero-worshipping Rolling Stone writeup can make me feel suspicious of anything.
On the last record he was "thinkin' about Alicia Keys" so I don't think this represents too much of a departure.
Oh I don't know...that Alicia Keyes thing came off to me as a pretty hilarious dirty old man comment. This one feels more like gratuitous name dropping. Of course, back in the day he devoted whole songs to gratuitous name dropping, like Desolation Row, so it's hard to complain too much.
If you WEREN'T thinking about Alicia Keyes right around when that record came out, you should have been.
Wow, Tex. In everybody's face!
I hear the Phantom of the Opera sued for libel after hearing Desolation Row.
By the way Tex and Quinapalus, Alicia Keys doesn't have that second e in her last name.
Which can only mean that you were "thinkin' about Alan Keyes." And that's just gross.
