Nothing Is Revealed

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 take.  -Apple Music Alternate Takes Playlist: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/blame-it-on-a-simple-twist-of-fate/pl.u-AkAmvbyI2qbBkXd -Spotify Alternate Takes Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1xjnfgyXdLAwRihogZUVkX?si=aH-JyERORJinkzllsd7-aQ&pi=e-QOKtZg8NTBaq   The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @never.ending.dylan (inactivated at the moment) Jens: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

A Conversation About Bob Dylan's Album Outtakes. Bob Dylan has released many incredible albums over his illustrious career, but it is often said that he leaves his best material on the cutting room floor. Is that true? Would these respective albums be even better if we replaced some of the tracks with outtakes? Is there an inherent phenomenon with Dylan outtakes? These questions, and more, are considered on this episode of Nothing Is Revealed as we rewrite Dylan's history. -Apple Music Outtakes Playlist: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/another-day-another-time/pl.u-vxy6JY3CzZEDXRq -Spotify Outtakes Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4tBNYJA9ZDZnpHLLhn2oDo?si=sSuYC7O2T--LrCC3WOm31Q&pi=u-BcRvUPNjQG2_   The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @never.ending.dylan Jens: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

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. This album is often overshadowed by his early 60's output, along with Blood On The Tracks, which was released only a year after Planet Waves. 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: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.

Bob Dylan is one of the most prolific recording artists of all time. He has 40 studio albums and over 650 songs in his discography. So, what are his best songs? Do the most played songs on Spotify and Apple Music tell an accurate story? This week we explore what his "top" songs communicate about his popularity, how streaming services compare to more formal lists, and why there can never be an objective list of his greatest songs.   The Podcast: @nothingisrevealed Adam: @never.ending.dylan Jens: @dylan_ologist Email us: [email protected]   Thank you, Thomas Francis (@thomasfrancisfolk), for the podcast soundtrack.
