“Rough and Rowdy Ways” was the 39th album in the 81-year-old’s discography, but also the first with new songs in the eight years since he released “Tempest” in 2012, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, four years later.
In between, he released other version records such as 2016’s “Shadows in the Night”, the following year’s “Triplicate” triple album.
“Rough and Rowdy Ways” begins with “I Contain Multitudes” and ends with the lengthy “Murder Most Foul” theme, which Bob Dylan released in March 2020, in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic, and which is a reflection of the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy .
The announcement of the concert comes one month after Dylan’s book “Philosophy of Modern Song” was put up for sale in Portugal by Relógio d’Água, in which the 2016 Nobel Prize winner “sets out his view on the nature of popular music”.
