Bob Dylan To Record Second Standards Album

Bob Dylan's formative years as a songwriter and performer are getting the full archival treatment with the upcoming release of The Bootleg Series Volume 18: Through The Open Window, 1956-1963, set for October 31, 2025 via Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings.

Emmylou Harris will reissue her legendary live album Spyboy on November 7, 2025 through New West Records, bringing fresh light to one of the most adventurous chapters of her career. The expanded 19-track set arrives with five previously unreleased performances, new liner notes by Harris and longtime collaborator Buddy Miller, and updated artwork.

Released on August 30, 1965, Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited marked a seismic shift in both his career and the landscape of popular music. Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, the album stands as a bold declaration of artistic freedom, blending folk, blues, and rock into a sound that was as electrifying as it was poetic.

August 30 has long been a milestone date in music history, bringing with it landmark releases and unforgettable moments. Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited arrived on this day, reshaping rock songwriting with “Like a Rolling Stone,” while Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, and Judas Priest also released career-defining albums. The first Isle of Wight Festival in 1968 cemented itself as a cornerstone of British rock culture, and decades later Kanye West’s Late Registration and Lana Del Rey’s Norman Fucking Rockwell! set new creative benchmarks. From classic rock to modern icons, August 30 showcases music’s constant evolution across generations.

One album that slipped through the cracks in July was Dave Stewart’s ‘Dave Does Dylan’, an album for Dylan covers from the Eurythmics co-founder.

'How Many Roads: Bob Dylan and his Changing Times, 1961- 1964’ will open at New York University in 25 August.

Legendary songwriter and musician Bob Dylan will return to the UK in 2025 for a string of dates presented by ITB.
