Yes, it's a good thing, sure. It's just annoying that you have to wait so long AFTER an album is recorded. I guess marketing strategists at the big record companies are to blame for that.
With the first Dylan track, by the way, I was slightly disappointed (and I'm a big Dylan fan). Nothing against good old blues and western swing, but maybe he should still try and write a melody now and then ... He's no Mark Knopfler in that respect, but he proofed many times that he can do it if he wants to.
