Bob Dylan Working on New Album at Jackson Browne's Studio

Bob Dylan is finally working on a new studio album, recording at the Los Angeles studio of Jackson Browne.
David Hidalgo, from Los Lobos, told the Apsen Times this week that he has been working with Bob on the record.
Hidalgo described the sessions as sounding nothing like Dylan had ever done.

I wonder if Mark got an invite to play on it. Being the gentleman he is..I would find it hard to believe that he didn't extend an invitation to Bob to visit BG while in London.

I feel sure that Mark would have invited him, but according to Guy, Mr Bob didn't go to BG - I think he said Stu Kimball did though.

I suppose it's possible that Mark was asked..and declined to make the trip to LA due to schedule conflicts with finishing the album mix. Even for a seasoned flyer like Mark..that's a hell of a chunk to take out of your schedule.

Just to keep a possible 2012 tour in mind, here is from JP of the ER forum from today:

"Of the fall tour? Not sure, there was a rumor Bob might do a later summer / ballpark tour first. MK was supposed to be October / November, so I guess they won't announce this right away."

That's why I wrote: just to keep it in mind!
In these days of so little news it's nice to be reminded of maybe some live versions of new songs with the whole band and properly rehearsed and not having to wait sooooo long for the 2013 tour.

Usually I'm very patient between two tours but now I need fresh news to save me from desperation. Fresh good news.

The most important part of this being "fresh good news". Which a Dylan tour/collaboration IS NOT, ffs. Go finish your next solo album, Mark, and leave Bob alone.

Personally, "fresh news" for me would be news about the new album eg title, cover art, exactly when it will be released and something about next year's tour dates.    It would also be nice to know when and if MK will join BD on tour in the autumn - I would rather he concentrated on getting this new album released though!   One good thing about him joining Bob on tour is the possibility of hearing some new songs from the album - a kind of showcase tour!

Over on the ER forum was another hint:
Fall tour with MK confirmed according to an unnamed man working for Bob.
I know it's neither completely new nor absolutely confirmed but still so nice a prospect for the second half of this year!
