Given that Bob Dylan has appeared in some pretty unlikely places over the years — from an episode of Dharma & Greg to Pawn Stars — the circumstances surrounding our first preview of his 35th LP, Tempest, shouldn’t come completely as a surprise: Strike Back, a Cinemax television series, just premiered the trailer for their second season, complete with yet another premiere: Dylan’s “Early Roman Kings.” Well, 2 minutes of the cut, give or take a few lines of dialogue and gunfire effects.

Bob Dylan 2012 Tour Dates
If we needed yet another clue that Bob Dylan’s 35th album is imminent, here it is: 2012 tour dates were just announced, curiously leading right up until that set’s rumored fall release timeframe. Beginning on August 10th in Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada Dylan will then head stateside through “the country [he comes] from” called the Midwest, for the North American leg that includes thirteen shows in August and one final gig in Big Flats, NY on the first of September.
