Handwritten lyrics from the pen of Bob Dylan in 1967 have finally been brought to life thanks to legendary producer T-Bone Burnett who’s been working alongside Elvis Costello, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Rhiannon Giddens of Carolina Chocolate Drops, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes and Mumford and Sons’ frontman Marcus. The resulting ‘Lost on the River – The New Basement Tapes’ is a long-awaited collaboration, anticipated the world over by Bob Dylan fans since the crew finished their two week session on Capitol Studios last March.
What transpired during those two weeks was amazing for all of us. There was a deep well of generosity and support in the studio at all times, which reflected the tremendous trust and generosity shown by Bob in sharing these lyrics with us in the first place.
