This is not quite a Bob Dylan album

Alongside the publication of lintégrale legendary Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes, has just been released this album that seems to have the same name and which is necessarily references to LOEUVRE famous bard and thus creates a kind of confusion. Confusion nest however totally illegitimate.

The New Basement Tapes is the name of the band supergroup should I say who recorded this album, with explicit reference to Bob Dylan. For indeed all the songs here are original but sappuient on Dylan lost texts that were written in 1967 he seems (estimated by the official website of the group), that is to say roughly where the singer Back then recorded the original Basement Tapes.

A supergroup that unites the fine flower of the current scene folk-rock-indie Anglo-Saxon of the moment: Elvis Costello, Jim James (My Morning Jacket's group), Marcus Mumford (of Mumford and Sons Group), Taylor Goldsmith (!) (Dawes group), Rhiannon Giddens (Choclolate Drops of Carolina Group), which drummer Jay Bellerose sajoute (Paula Cole Band, Talking To Animals), and others including Johnny Depp who came replaced Elvis Costello on guitar on the title Kansas City.

Each of them has composed one or more songs, which are played by ALL OPERATING group. All produced by the legendary T-Bone Burnett.

ALL OPERATING (20 pieces) is pleasing ranging from folk rock more contemporary, with sophisticated electrical arrangements (including the superb Spanish Mary Rhiannon Giddens, or the introductory pieces of the Down Bottom Jim James), to the more acoustic and lamericana The most traditional (and Jimmy Duncan Rhiannon Giddens), often in the same title (Quick like a flash of Jim James), alternating moving ballads (Liberty Street Taylor Goldsmith), haunted securities (Hidee Hidee Ho R. Giddens that would almost reminiscent of 16 Horsepower unplugged) and cuts a little crazy (Married to my Hack Delvis Costello).

The album is long (over 70 minutes), but you can not see the time spent since securities are all well composed, varied, with excellent melodies and voices are superb (listen to the voice of Rhiannon Giddens on Hiddee Hiddee by Ho example). A nice tribute to Bob Dylan.

It seems that the band wrote songs dozens. There will then perhaps a sequel
