So many great artists burn out young, lose their reverence, disappear into drugs, or die tragically before they reach their potential. Perspective | I went to Las Vegas to test whether I was really ready for life on the other side of the pandemicīefore the pandemic the band Midland was on the verge of country stardom by reclaiming vintage styles A mosaic of a man, when it comes to truth and matters of the heart, Bob Dylan is the best time capsule we have. The modest presentation would be fitting if you didn’t account for the past 60-plus years of his life spent contemplating where we’ve been, where we are, where we’re going, and turning it into art for the ages. A broom and dustpan haphazardly lean near a placard pointing to the “BOB DYLAN EXHIBIT.” A narrow hallway lined with coat hangers leads to an open door. The atmosphere below is more basement than an extension of the well-kept library above. “Never heard back.”Īnother library worker directs me to the stairs leading to the lower level of the building. Whether they like it or not, everyone born in this town who has stayed the course is now a descendant of Bob Dylan, with or without a saliva test.
JUST THE TWO OF US ALBUM COVER HOW TO
I’m trying to think of how to best explain that to the man, but having said what he wanted to say, the man walks off without another word. ”Ī gentleman standing in the lobby overhears us speaking of Bob Dylan and abruptly asks, “Why does he always snub Hibbing?”ĭylan has said that people can be born in the wrong place with the wrong name and the wrong parents, but in recent years he’s acknowledged that his Iron Range roots and upbringing have had an immeasurable impact on his life. I mean, nothing official, but it shows that we’re related. Library specialist April Fountain lowers her voice to let me know that, out of curiosity, she took one of those ancestry DNA tests to see if she had a link to Dylan. It makes me feel good, though, that the residents still take pride in their treasures from the life of the wiry Robert Allen Zimmerman, who spent many formative and formidable days growing up on Hibbing’s streets.
“Can someone please open up the Bob Dylan room?”Īlways bound by destiny, Dylan admittedly couldn’t get out of this small mining town fast enough. A gracious young woman behind the counter quickly gets on the intercom.
The Hibbing Public Library is just opening its doors, and an out-of-towner approaching the front desk can mean only one thing. In the stiff chill of a Minnesota morning, even looking both ways before crossing is a struggle. First it’s cinematic, then it’s vintage spooky, and in the end it makes you want to dance.Crossing main street, the wind tries to cut your legs out from under you. I just knew he could take it where I wanted to go. I knew Carson was the perfect match for the production of this song. It’s all very exciting – working with friends, experimenting with new genres, and creating new visuals (or new to me) for people to enjoy. I also have a silent passion for directing and actualizing music videos, and horror/thriller is a subject I’ve been dying to touch. so I wanted to make one of my own to add to the mix. I’m always making Halloween playlists in October featuring the likes of Leonard Cohen, Norma Tanega, Dead Man’s Bones, etc. I love the idea of releasing projects that are thematic to holidays, and Halloween just happens to be one of my favorites.
So when August rolled around this year, I revisited the idea and reached out to my buddy Carson Cody to see if he’d be interested in working together on it. I’d had this idea to take a major classic pop song and turn it dark and sinister since last year, but I didn’t have the time or resources for it yet (I was neck deep in I Am The Prophet work). Dozier, who directed the video herself, explains: Today, Dozier is back with a cover of Bill Withers’ “ Just The Two Of Us.” It’s a plodding and ominous take on the track, and it comes with a horror-inspired music video just in time for Halloween. Lady Dan, the project of Austin-based musician Tyler Dozier, released their debut album I Am The Prophet earlier this year.
