NEW DYLAN MID JULY

Bob Dylan’s new album, Street Legal, should be released in NZ in mid-July. The album contains ten new Dylan compositions and Dylan is credited with lead vocals and electric and rhythm guitars. The remainder of the line-up of musicians on the album is identical to the band he's currently touring with and differs only slightly from the band seen at the Auckland concert earlier this year. The album was produced by Don De Vito. The track Ikisting is: “Changing of the Guards”, "New Pony”, “No Time to Think”, “Baby Stop Crying”, “Is Your Love in Vain’/, “Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)”, "True Love Tends to Forget”, “We Better Talk This Over”, "Where Are You Tonight? (Journey Through Dark Heat)". Angus Mackinnon writing for New Musical Express said: "A powerful positive album. What the hell, I’ll state my case Street Legal is Dylan’s second major album of the seventie.” Meanwhile Dylan has apparently given his OK to the release of a live album recorded in Japan earlier this year. This album may only be pressed in Japan, thus elsewhere the LP would be available on import only. This recording could be out by August.
