Black Friday exclusives

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and traditionally one of the busiest shopping days of the year, is fast approaching. The folks at Record Store Day have helped to organize a series of exclusive items just for indie record stores to be released on Black Friday. The list is pretty big, so we wanted to highlight some of the titles and give you the chance to view or print the entire list (PDF) so you can be prepared on Friday November 25. Just a heads up that the stock may differ between the three stores as well.

Suze Rotolo Passes at 67

The woman who shared the cover of Bob Dylan's The Freewheelin' and both dated and inspired the artist for 3 highly influential early years, Suze Rotolo, has passed away in New York City at 67 after a long illness. She wrote a fascinating autobiography a couple of years back in great part about her life with Dylan that is recommended reading! Sure am glad she was able to share her thoughts and write it before she died. Rest in peace, Suze Rotolo.

Bob Dylan Signs Whopping 6 Book Deal

This just in: Good news for those of us who enjoyed Bob Dylan's fascinating Chronicles: Volume 1! The Guardian UK is reporting that Dylan has signed a massive six book deal with Simon & Schuster!
 
At least two of the books will be further Chronicles, and potentially some of the others will be "a collection of Dylan's musings from the Theme Time Radio Hour show he presents on the Sirius XM satellite channel."
 
That Dylan, he just gets more and more bard-like with age! He's unstoppable.

One of my most anticipated records of this year is the Jack White produced Wanda Jackson album The Party Ain't Over, coming January 25th. The first video is here, a cover of Bob Dylan's (hand picked by Dylan for Jackson) "Thunder on the Mountain."
