Lucinda Williams Debuts a Protest Album That Echoes Dylan and Sparks Hope

Lucinda Williams discusses World’s Gone Wrong, a largely original protest album inspired by Bob Dylan and featuring a Marley cover with Mavis Staples; after surviving a 2020 stroke, she writes melodies using voice memos due to guitar pain and collaborates with her husband Tom Overby and guitarist Doug Pettibone. The record is pitched as a wake-up call and battle cry addressing daily news, aiming to keep listeners engaged and hopeful rather than complacent. Dylan invited her to tour selected dates this summer, and Williams is set to perform three Massachusetts shows (Groton, Medford, Provincetown).

Dylan’s Row in The Times’ List Sparks Debate

A Media Nation post critiques The Times’ ‘30 Greatest Living American Songwriters’ list for Dylan, arguing that while he belongs, the selections misrepresent his catalog by including a co-written track (Isis with Jacques Levy) and omitting era-defining songs (e.g., from Blonde on Blonde) while praising later work; Patti Smith’s reflections are included, and the piece suggests Not Dark Yet as a stronger late‑career pick, noting no list will ever please all fans.

Dylan Bets on Patreon With AI-Voiced Lectures

Bob Dylan has launched a Patreon page called Lectures From the Grave at $5/month, posting six entries that include AI-narrated audio essays on Aaron Burr, Frank James, and Wild Bill, a Letters Never Sent piece from Mark Twain to Rudolph Valentino (under the pen name Herbert Foster), a seven-page short story titled Bull Rider credited to Marty Lombard, and an embedded Mahalia Jackson performance; it remains unclear who wrote the pieces, as Dylan’s official site hasn’t referenced the Patreon and Pitchfork has requested comment.

Lucinda Williams Debuts a Politically Charged Album, Worlds Gone Wrong

Inspired by Bob Dylan and the Staple Singers, and recounting a meeting with Dylan, the record includes a Big Thief collaboration on 'Low Life' and a Marley cover featuring Mavis Staples, with Williams insisting the songs are messages she’s compelled to deliver onstage.
