Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, Jim James Record ‘Lost’ Dylan Lyrics

  The project, ‘Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes,’ will come out in the fall

From RollingStone.com: March 25, 2014 Words: Kory Grow Photo: Courtesy of Showtime

Producer T Bone Burnett has found a way to extend the legacy of Bob Dylan's legendary “basement tapes,” recordings he made with members of the Band in the late Sixties in upstate New York that were heavily bootlegged until their official release in 1975.

With Dylan’s permission, he has enlisted the likes of Elvis Costello, Mumford and Sons' Marcus Mumford and My Morning Jacket's Jim James to write and record their own songs using lyrics Dylan penned during his basement sojourn for a release titled Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, according to the Los Angeles Times. The release is due out this fall.

"These are not B-level Dylan lyrics," Burnett told the Times. “They’re lyrics he just never got around to finishing.”

The original Basement Tapes sessions yielded at least 30 songs – 24 of which were issued as The Basement Tapes in the Seventies – that Dylan worked on with the Band in the foundation of a pink West Saugerties, New York house, affectionately called “Big Pink,” which also served as the springboard for the Band’s debut, Music From Big Pink. In addition to the music that made it out, Dylan wrote many lyrics during that time that were never recorded.

The Burnett-helmed sessions will produce an estimated 50 or so “new” Dylan songs. The rock and folk icon’s only involvement in the release has been allowing his lyrics to be used and giving the project his blessing. Each artist, which also includes Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith and Carolina Chocolate Drops’ Rhiannon Giddens, has written their own music for the lyrics. They have recorded multiple versions of the same songs and each has worked with one another to record the music needed.

Song titles for the new project include “Florida Key,” “Card Shark,” “Hi-De-Ho” and “Lost on the River,” tough Burnett and his group have not yet decided how many songs will come out on the release.

The making of the new album will serve as the basis for a Showtime documentary dubbed Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued, by filmmaker Sam Jones. It is scheduled to premiere in the fall.

But that cinematic touch is not the only departing point from Dylan’s original sessions. “This is the exact opposite of The Basement Tapes,” Costello told the Times in Capitol Records Studio A. “We’re in the best recording studio in the world, and we’re not in a basement.” _____ Read this article at RollingStone.com.

Attention Mumfamily!

My name's Cherie (*waves awkwardly*).

I, along with a couple of friends, have started a music blog. We call ourselves Lyrically Addicted. Generally speaking we are a music blog that covers many different genres of music, keeping an open mind all the while.

We've written several articles that I think you might enjoy checking out, such as:

-a brief history of the Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers and Forest Hills Stadium - a concert recap from their stopover show at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens in August 2013 - a short introduction to one of their opening bands, Bear's Den.

I've also written a short piece reflecting on the band's break.

If you like Laura Marling I've also reviewed Once I Was an Eagle, which went on to top my Best of 2013 list.

Finally, I also did a review of Johnny Flynn's recent show at the Brighton Music Hall in Boston where he put on a riveting solo performance.

You can follow us here on tumblr for more musical updates! Thanks for taking the time to check us out!

10 Songs That Will Make You Rethink Pop Music

We all have our musical biases. I lean more towards folk and indie rock music, and Vasilis clearly is in love with punk music. To mix things up a bit I reached out to a fellow music lover who has a different taste in music than either of us and asked him to write something up for the blog. Ken delivered, giving us a song that celebrates some of his favorite pop songs. You can check out the full list over on the blog now!

Also be sure to check out Ken's concert photographs and musings over on his personal tumblr. He's a pretty talented guy.

"The day we put out the album set something into motion that I was no longer in control of. For me it was a huge day of relief, to finally put down something permanent, whatever impact it had. That record has flooded my world with all the good and bad I could have ever hoped for. I can’t explain how different my life is from what it was; there’s not a day that goes by when I’m not grateful or shell shocked." - Ben Howard

The Huffington Post  |  By Kia Makarechi Posted: 08/23/2013 9:36 am EDT  |  Updated: 08/23/2013 1:01 pm EDT

It can be a bit awkward when an act that sells out arenas gets booked for a small, insider event, as there’s certainly a difference between the energy that radiates off of thousands of fans who pay money to see a band, and a couple hundred well-connected people who may or may not be able to name any of the hired group’s Billboard hits.

Such awkwardness wasn’t on hand Thursday night on the rooftop of SoHo House, New York’s well-appointed professional and social club for creatives, this despite the fact that Grammy winners Mumford and Sons were booked to provide the entertainment for the establishment’s 10th anniversary party. And while a handful of people whom HuffPost Entertainment spoke with admitted they had never willingly listened to Marcus Mumford and his fellow British folk rockers before, the band’s charisma and self-deprecating humor made it impossible not to like them. (That Mumford & Sons were able to perform beside the pool was a victory in and of itself; downpours soaked much of Manhattan throughout the early afternoon, but the clouds had dissipated by the time they began playing.)

The band was on a stage on the edge of the pool, leaving “plenty of room down in front,” as Mumford remarked. Some bikini clad guests were already in the pool before the performance began, but soon enough, fully clothed attendees began trickling in, one “look at me” jump at a time. The Sons were amused: “Can some fat people get in the pool?” band member Winston Marshall asked. “Don’t just do this half-assed, New York thing where only the buff people get in the pool … If you love SoHo house, you’d take your top off.”

"Just one fat bloke, then we’ll play another tune," he added. No one obliged. By the time the band finished its two-hour set, it had blasted its way through hits like "I Will Wait," "Sigh No More" and "Little Lion Man," and even played backup as part of "Mumford Karaoke." A seemingly random audience member volunteered to sing AC/DC’s "You Shook Me All Night Long," which was far better than it should have been, and a talented chap by the name of John Legend took to the keys to sing Marvin Gaye’s "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" with a friend of Carey Mulligan (who herself is Mumford’s wife).

It was, all in all, a successful evening. SoHo House played host to not only Legend (who was seen laughing it up in the lobby as the clock neared 1 a.m.), Mulligan and the band, but also Jennifer Connelly, Will Forte, Imogen Poots, Anthony Mackie, Jenna Lyons, Kyle MacLachlan, Alan Cumming and a smattering of downtown Guest of a Guest regulars. It’s perhaps of note that “Dirty Burgers” from one of SoHo House’s London establishments were handed out. They, too, were better than they should have been. _____ Read this article at The Huffington Post.
