The Top 25 Bob Dylan Songs According To You
November 04, 2014
We asked, you voted!
All month long we've been micro-reviewing every Bob Dylan studio album in anticipation of his three performances at the Orpheum Theatre on Nov. 4, 5 and 6, the Minnesota native's first home-state shows since last summer's Americanarama tour made stops in St. Paul and Duluth.
The first show on Tuesday, Nov. 4 coincides with the release of The Basement Tapes Complete: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 (which you can now stream in full!). To celebrate the release, hosts Mary Lucia and Mark Wheat are counting down the top 25 Bob Dylan songs as voted by listeners of The Current on Tuesday, Nov. 4 from 5 to 7 p.m.
And if you want to dig deep into Dylan's discography, from from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4 we'll spin songs recorded by the Minnesota native from A to Y on our all-Minnesota music stream, Local Current! Fun fact: Bob Dylan has no songs starting with Z.
Blogger Jay Gabler will be attending all three of Bob Dylan's shows at the Orpheum on Nov. 4, 5 and 6. Read his nightly reviews of the performances.
