From Kim Ruehl, your Guide to Folk Music
Fifty years after he burst on the national stage with his debut album on Columbia Records, Bob Dylan is readying the release of his 35th studio album (which is to say nothing of his numerous singles, bootlegs, and live recordings). You could spend a lifetime studying Dylan's contributions to modern music - indeed, many folks have. But here's a basic primer to get you started.

All About Bob Dylan
With a new disc set to drop in a matter of weeks, eyes and ears are turning on the inimitable master of contemporary folk music (not to mention a number of other genres). Take this chance to become re-acquainted with the remarkable Bob Dylan via this bio and profile.

Bob Dylan and the Band Live DVD to Drop Next Month
A lot has been made about the legendary collaboration between Bob Dylan and the Band - from their days on the road to those on the Basement Tapes, and beyond. This new DVD follows along with them on that first historical tour. Learn more and then mark your calendar.

Speaking of Dylan...He Has a New Album Coming
Granted, it might overshadow Brendan Hines' release just a little bit, but Dylan's new album - titled Tempest - is due to hit stores and online outlets on September 11. Find out more about that disc - and Dylan in general.

'Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan'
Just about every singer-songwriter to ever touch the form has dabbled in at least one or two Bob Dylan songs. This landmark tribute CD features performances by everyone from Ani DiFranco to Miley Cyrus, and is an incredible collection paying tribute to one of the masters.
