Rough and Rowdy Ways is the thirty-ninth studio album by Bob Dylan. It's a double album that was released on June 19, 2020.His first album of all-original songs since 2012's Tempest, and his first such album as a Nobel laureate, it was recorded shortly before the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The song "Murder Most Foul" was given a YouTube release at the end of March, just as the pandemic started flaring up in the United States. A kaleidoscopic, surreal 17-minute account of the assassination of John F. Kennedy liberally sprinkled with other cultural references, past and present, it attracted much curiosity and reached #1 on Billboard's Rock Digital Song Sales chart, making it Dylan's first #1 hit on any Billboard chart. The album itself continues the basic style he established on Time Out of Mind: brooding, lyrically dense songs sung in a quiet, raspy voice, but notably has a diverse mix of musical styles, with clear influences of Folk Music, Blues and Jazz.The album received almost unanimous rave reviews and brisk sales, reaching #2 on the Billboard album chart, making 79-year-old Dylan the first artist to have an album reach the top 40 of the Billboard chart in seven consecutive decades. | |

Who Shot JFK? | |
| Rough and Rowdy Ways (Music) / int_1f8cdb5c | comment |
Who Shot JFK?: "Murder Most Foul" doesn't specifically pose this question, but it's titled after one of the earliest conspiracy theory books (Murder Most Foul!: The Conspiracy That Killed Kennedy, a self-published 1967 pamphlet by Stanley J. Marks), and references mainstays like the "magic bullet", the "three bums" and the "grassy knoll". | |

Fan Flattering: A popular interpetation of "I've Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You" is that the "you" is Dylan referencing his fans and thanking them for their support. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Rough and Rowdy Ways (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: This may well be Dylan's most Reference Overdosed album. Practically every song includes a list of them. Some of the more interesting ones: "I Contain Multitudes": The Irish poem "The Lass From Bally-na-Lee", Edgar Allan Poe, "all the young dudes", Anne Frank, Indiana Jones, The Rolling Stones, William Blake. "My Own Version of You": "Scarface Pacino and Godfather Brando", Leon Russell, Liberace, "bring it to Jerome", "move it on over", "Mr. Freud with his dreams and Mr. Marx with his axe." Black Rider: "Some enchanted evening I’ll sing you a song." "Goodbye Jimmy Reed": Jimmy Reed, of course, and the song is In the Style of him as well, plus a whole bunch of religious references. "Mother of Muses": The Muses, and Calliope specifically, a bunch of generals, Elvis Presley, Martin Luther King Jr., "take me to the river." "Crossing The Rubicon": Obviously built around a Julius Caesar reference. "Key West (Philosopher Pirate)": The title evokes Jimmy Buffett, and the song "A Pirate Looks at Forty", which Dylan has performed live. Also nods to Radio Luxembourg, writers of The Beat Generation like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, a cryptic reference to "Louie, Jimmy and Buddy" (maybe Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Holly), the Land of Oz, Harry S. Truman. "Murder Most Foul": Hoo boy...sixteen minutes of shout-outs, with appearances by The Beatles, Woodstock, Altamont, Gone with the Wind, A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Tommy and the Acid Queen, Wolfman Jack, Billy Joel, Marilyn Monroe, Don Henley and Glenn Frey, Carl Wilson, and a whole bunch of Jazz greats. The album title recalls the songs "My Rough and Rowdy Ways" by Jimmie Rodgers and "My Rough and Rowdy Days" by Waylon Jennings. | |
