As we’ve reported, Bob Dylan’s 35th studio album, Tempest, will be released September 11. For those of you who can’t wait till Tuesday to hear to hear what Rolling Stone has deemed a five-star album, head to iTunes, where the entire album is streaming for a limited time.

Bob Dylan's 35th studio album, Tempest, will be released September 11.

The late George Harrison -- who loved to record and happened to have a top-notch recording studio in his home for many years -- left behind a wealth of demos and early versions of songs that went on to be considered classics. Ten of these recordings appear on Early Takes Volume 1, which will be released May 1 by Hip-O Records to coincide with the DVD/Blu-ray release of Martin Scorsese's 2011 Harrison biopic, Living In The Material World.

For me, the ailing Levon Helm's greatest moment with The Band is their cover of Bob Dylan's "When I Paint My Masterpiece" from 1971's Cahoots. While it was already common for other artists to perform Dylan's own songs better than he did, Helm's performance on "Masterpiece" is truly one of a kind.
