Miley Cyrus Performs “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” On ‘Ellen’
Mon Feb 6 2012 by Robbie Daw
Dolled up like a carefree '70s singer (not unlike Taylor Swift in the current issue of Vogue), Miley Cyrus took to the Ellen DeGeneres Show's stage for a performance of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go". The LOL star was accompanied by one acoustic guitar, which made her vocals the focal point — and she pulled off a mesmerizing performance pretty easily.

Thu Oct 27 2011 by Becky Bain
This Bob Dylan tribute album is getting really weird. Chimes Of Freedom: Songs Of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International, a tribute compilation of covers honoring the iconic singer-songwriter, was already making headlines by featuring Ke$ha on the track list. Now it's been revealed that Miley Cyrus — of all people — will contribute a cover of one of Dylan's songs. Hopefully this recording will go over better than her cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" did. More »
Bob Dylan’s Shaggy Dog Story Was Borrowed From A Canadian Troubadour
Wed May 20 2009 by Maura
So, that poem purportedly written by Bob Dylan at camp in the ’50s that’s supposed to fetch at least $10,000 at auction next month? If you press “play” on the above YouTube embed you’ll find out that a variation on those words has been put to song–and not by the teenaged Dylan, but by the Canadian country singer Hank Snow, from whom those words were appropriated. “Little Buddy” appeared on a 78 in the late ’40s, then was included on Snow’s 1958 album When Tragedy Struck, which also included such mood-lifters as “Don’t Make Me Go To Bed And I’ll Be Good,” “Nobody’s Child,” and “I’m Just Here To Get My Baby Out of Jail.” Christie’s had this to say: More »
Is Bob Dylan’s Poem About A Dead Dog Worth Five Figures?
Tue May 19 2009 by Maura
A poem handwritten by a teenage Bob Dylan, which was published in his camp newspaper during the 1950s, is one of the many Dylan-related pieces of memorabilia that will be up for auction at Christie’s next month. The poem is expected to fetch at least $10,000 from some Dylan completist out there, with proceeds going to the camp; it’s after the jump. Be warned: If the idea of a drunk man beating a dog to death (because the dog “barked in joy”) is something that upsets you, you might want to proceed with caution. (Although I rather do like the meter employed by Dylan here, I have to say.) More »

Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and John Mellencamp are bringing what seems like a traveling version of Farm Aid to minor-league baseball stadia around the country this summer. Tickets for all shows are priced at a flat rate of $67.50 and the seating is general admission, so those people who want to set up shop near second base to watch the show can do so. (They’ll probably have to get there early, though.) Dates after the jump. More »
