If you’ve ever wondered where Dylan took shelter from the storm, what the tambourine man’s song sounded like, or who the lady was that laid across his big brass bed, you may soon find out.

According to Variety, Amazon and Lionsgate TV are nearing a deal for an hourlong drama series that draws inspiration from the characters and themes of the iconic musician’s songs. Based on the title of his 1997 album of the same name, Time out of Mind will be shepherded by writer/director Josh Wakely and will reportedly benefit from a deal that gives the production the right to use much of Dylan’s extensive song catalog.
This isn’t the first time Wakely has mined classic music for material, as he also recently inked a deal with Northern Songs Publishing that will allow him to use many of the Beatles’ songs for an upcoming animated children’s series called Beat Bug. That show will be produced by Netflix and will feature covers from contemporary artists like Pink and Sia.
While Wakely, an Aussie, had been flying somewhat under the radar, these projects are tremendously ambitious and could make him a big name in the small-screen world.
As for the Dylan series, the preliminary plan is for each episode to weave together stories and/or characters from two different songs. For instance, Baby Blue might meet the Girl from the North Country; the Tambourine Man might come down with a case of World War III blues, etc. etc.
The premise sounds pretty clever and — for fans of Dylan at least — this series could be a ton of fun. Time Out of Mind is still in the preliminary stages and has yet to set a release date or cast any major roles, but we’ll update you as information becomes available.
Who could have ever imagined that one day we would be able to access the entire discographies of our favorite artists and albums right from our smartphones or tablets, no matter where we are in the world? This remarkable convenience is one of the many wonders of music streaming services, a revolution that has transformed the way we experience and enjoy music.
In today's digital age, numerous audio platforms have emerged, each offering unique features and catering to different tastes. Whether it's Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, or any of the myriad other options available, these services aim to deliver your beloved tracks, intriguing podcasts, hilarious comedy specials, and countless other sound bites directly to your ears with just a few taps on your screen.
Typically, when you create music, whether a full-fledged track, background music for another project, or even just playing around, you have to use a variety of tools. You might have to jump between applications to do various things, like recording, applying post-production effects, and more. Avid Pro Tools is a comprehensive end-to-end audio production suite that aims to provide you with everything you need. With the tools, you can create, edit, produce, mix, master, and deliver, and much more.
Here's the kicker: For New Year's you can save 33% off and make music for a full year at a heavily discounted price. Normally, you'd pay $99 per year for Avid Pro Tools Artist, but right now it's only $66 per year. That deal will only be available from December 31 to January 3, though, so there isn't a lot of time if you want to take advantage.
Let's settle a musical debate: which music streaming platform should you use: Spotify or Pandora?
Both services have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Spotify boasts a more extensive music catalog, robust social features for sharing and discovering music with friends, and a more polished user experience across devices.
