Bob Dylan Offers New Song for 24 Hours

You'd think at his age, 68, Bobby D would fall out of touch with what all the kids are doing.  Well, the original Village Troubador hasn't, or at least his publicist hasn't.  A new track from the forthcoming Together Through This is available today only at Bob Dylan's official website

The track, "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" got the same traditional chord structuring, but is a lot more uptempo than 2006's Modern Times with an accordion and electric guitar part that shove it into an almost creole-jazz vibe.  Dylan's voice sounds appropriately, and wonderfully, like he's been smoking two packs a day and is giving Tom Waits a run for his money.  The lyrics, of course, are spot-on, with a beautiful depiction of two people connecting despite what sounds like the apocalypse.  So go download it now.  24 hours only, people.  Then tell us what you think!

Get the MP3 here.
