first...just a tid bit of info. His REAL last name is Zimmerman. His son, Jacob, is the lead singer of the Wallflowersadn was quoted as saying thet he didn't want to ride his father's coattails. I feel if that was true, whouldn't he have gone by his real last name of Zimmerman?...if at least to audibly distance himself from his father.


But to answer you question...his last release won some grammy's...that doesn;'t always mean much to everyone...but at times it does. It's called "Modern Times"...he has another record coming out aupposedly in Oct called "Dylan"

You could start with 2006 ~ Modern Times and work your way back. It is an outstanding album which I believe will become a classic alongside many, many others of Mr. Dylan's.

Hey thanks!, think I'll get "Modern Times", like the cover too, "Time Out of Mind" sounds pretty cool aswell, just been listening to samples on Amazon.

I had no idea Bob Dylan's son was singer for the Wallflowers, have to check them out.

Time out of Mind.

wtf? That tidbit was really out of left field! He legally changed his name before he became famous, so you can bet his name would appear as Dylan on Jakobs birth certificate. Why shouldn't he use his own name that he's had his whole life?

I would recommend Oh Mercy, Time Out Of Mind, Love and Theft, Modern Times and any of the Bootleg Series releases which are archival but still brilliant releases so pretty much anything you can get your hands on lol .

Just as an aside I've seen his whole catalogue including Time Out Of Mind for ridiculously cheap recently.

I would definitely go for Time Out Of Mind. A classic imo.

I didn't really feel Modern Times.

Blood on the tracks and Blond on Blond are his absolute best.

His last two releases are very good too.

Love and Theft (2001) and Modern Times (2006) are two masterpieces, the two best roots-rock albums of this century; buy them now! cool

Time Out Of Mind.

Modern Times is overrated. It's got a great sound and some witty lines, but the songs don't bury themselves in your head the way his best stuff does. I can't imagine anyone wanting to cover anything on that album. TOOM on the other hand has songs like Not Dark Yet and Trying To Get To Heaven which can genuinely go toe to toe with his best work.

Dylan is a master lyricist. There is no one like him. I believe he is untouchable in that area. Even though Prince is my favorite musician, he doesn't even come close to Bob when it comes to lyrics.

U know...U R right. I was always under the impression it was a stage name. I was wrong. Look into it and he did legally change hiname mid-late 60's. I digress. Jakob's last name really is Dylan. My bad. Thanks for letting me know.
