In your ear Bill Bradley BOB DYLAN: Thirty-nine Years of Great Concert Performances SME, 2,520 yen yomiuri.co.jp When's this guy going to stop trying to cash in on his son's fame? Huh? Oh, yeah. Right. Released to coincide with Dylan's three-week tour of Japan, which winds down later this month, this disc culls rare performances from 40 years of Dylan shows. The selling point seems to be the rarity more than the performance. The extensive liner notes point out more than once that 11 of these 16 performances are of songs that were either never released or never released on a Dylan album. The collection opens with "Somebody Touched Me," a honky-tonk hymn recorded just last year, but then moves chronologically from a 1961 performance of "Wade in the Water" back to 2000 with "Country Pie" and "Things Have Changed." Some things have changed, but then some things are Dylan's voice. "Wade in the Water" is one of the album's best moments, but it is most remarkable for showing just how much like a 60-year-old Dylan sounded when he was in his 20s. He was also already a master of the guitar back then, and the jump from the Robert Johnson-like slide blues of "Wade in the Water" to gentle folk strumming on the '62 recording of "Handsome Molly" holds Dylan's versatility up for close inspection. "Country Pie," is a meandering bluegrass romp that will please any fan of the Pigpen-era Grateful Dead, but only obsessive obscurists will be able to embrace every song.

Dylan may beam into Oscars By Edna Gundersen usatoday.com:80/usatonline/20010305/3111245s.htm Ending weeks of speculation and misinformation about his appearance on the Academy Awards telecast, first-time nominee Bob Dylan told USA TODAY on Sunday that he hopes to be there virtually, if not physically. Dylan's wry and bittersweet Things Have Changed, from Curtis Hanson's Wonder Boys, got a best-song nod last month, prompting Oscars producer Gil Cates to invite Dylan to perform the song on the show. Cates was informed promptly of a scheduling conflict involving overseas concerts promoted months ago. Though nothing further was discussed, some media reports have confirmed Dylan's appearance. ''It's quite an honor to be nominated,'' Dylan said in a statement, ''and if circumstances permitted, I'd no doubt be there. We'll be touring in Australia at that time, however, and it would mean canceling shows that had been planned a while ago. So, while it's impossible for me to appear on the Academy Awards in person, I'd be thrilled to perform live via satellite if that could be arranged. That way, I wouldn't be disappointing my fans in Australia, and I'd still be able to accept the Academy's gracious offer. I really hope it all works out.'' Dylan performs in Sydney on March 25, day of the Oscars. An 18-hour time lag would allow him to sing live for the L.A. broadcast without disrupting the tour.
