Rolling Thunder

[Auburn Annie]

From the most recent Folkwax ezine - no mention of Gord, but who knows?


DVD To Cover Rolling Thunder and Gospel Years:
Music Video Distributors and Highway 61 have announced the release of Bob Dylan - 1975-1982: Rolling Thunder & The Gospel Years for worldwide distribution on DVD on April 4, 2006.

In 1975 Dylan's hit the road with a rag-tag band of Folk troubadours in the Rolling Thunder Revue. Appearing unannounced in small venues, the Revue culminated in "The Night of the Hurricane" benefit at Madison Square Garden for wrongly-convicted boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. In his first interview in 30 years, "The Hurricane" tells all. Folk legend Ramblin' Jack Elliott, violinist Scarlet Rivera, bassist Rob Stoner, and Ms. Jacques Levy reveal the inside story of the Desire album, Joey Gallo, the Rolling Thunder Revue and the maligned tour film, Renaldo and Clara.

Following his reinvention as "The Entertainer" in 1978, Bob Dylan fell into the Arms of the Lord through the Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church. Dylan made three Gospel albums, winning a Grammy for Gotta Serve Somebody. However, his radical new direction alienated fans and enraged critics as he preached evangelical messages from the Book of Revelation. In his first-ever interview, Dylan's Bible class teacher, Pastor Bill Dwyer, describes Dylan's born-again transformation. Legendary Slow Train Coming producer Jerry Wexler, background singer Regina McCrary, keyboardist Spooner Oldham, songwriter Al Kasha, San Francisco Chronicle Rock reporter Joel Selvin, AJ Weberman, and others tell the tale of Bob Dylan's Gospel Years.

Director and Producer Joel Gilbert weaves the story of this period of Dylan's life and music through revealing insider portraits, exclusive photos, live concert video clips, and TV footage from 1975-1981, and with visits to Rundown Studios, the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, the Vineyard Church, and the Fox Warfield Theatre, along with several other features.
