There Is Another Cash Grab Bob Dylan Compilation On The Way

Sony will release yet another Bob Dylan compilation in October and it is completely uneventful.

It is hard to even imagine why someone has gone to the trouble to compile ‘Mixing Up The Medicine’ for release on 20 October 2023.

Everything on the album has been released on other compilations numerous times on top of their original releases. The most recent song on the album ‘Make You Feel My Love’ was released on 1997’s ‘Time Out Of Mind’. Dylan has released six more albums of original songs since then and some of his finest work on 21st century releases ‘Modern Times’, ‘Together Through Life’, ‘Tempest’ and ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways’ but nothing from those albums is represented for Dylan in the last quarter century with the exception of the 2000 Wonder Boys soundtrack song ‘Things Have Changed’ from 23 years ago.

The title ‘Mixing Up The Medicine’ even sounds like an intern put the album together, with the title coming from the classic ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’. The songs look like they have come from someone just Googling “12 big Bob songs” despite them being a companion to a new book written by Mark Davidson & Parker Fishel titled “Bob Dylan : Mixing Up The Medicine” coming out the same week.

I can’t imagine Dylan would have had anything to do with this rubbish. Not one of the songs is even in his recent setlist.
