Sorry, but even Mark can't fill two CDs with great songs. Unless he's going in a certain direction with the album, it's very difficult to sustain the attention. We'll see.pretty convinced mark will wrong you there amigo!

10 tracks on every album will mean not more than 50 to 55, 60 minutes (at the most) playtime on each CD - besides there are some unusal long tracks on it (which means more than 7 minutes for me)... I am sure Mark will NOT fill both CDs completely with 70 to 75 minutes. Last time he did that was Golden Heart... LE
I can imagine hanging out with and around Bob Dylan was probably a great inspiration to Mark, in terms of prolific songwriting.I can't recall exactly, but did they have all of these songs in the can before the tour? How many sessions afterwards?
Time to move on.

How many sessions afterwards?How can he be inspired by "hanging out with Dylan" when he did not? IIRC, they didn't even have lunch together, or a post-concert drink! Exchanging a few licks and enhancing some of Dylan's strange song arrangements does hardly count as a inspiration, IMO.People, please stop obsessing over an MK/BD collab. It's over, done with, finished. Time to move on.
