I can’t pretend that we’ve been playing the Bob Dylan album that much, but a bit of interesting Dylan news did surface this week; that a previously unreleased song from the “Bringing It All Back Home” sessions called “California” is set to appear, with characteristic weirdness, on something entitled “NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack – Vol. 2”.
