Oh Yeah. Enjoy.

Cheers.

Wow. That's simply astounding. Just when you thought Bob had surprised the shit out of you for the last time, this comes along...

Anyone have a date or an idea what session it comes from?

Here are the lyrics.

I haven’t checked them.

Cheers.

sounds like recent vocals, cant tell if it is George or matt on percussion/drums. bob's piano playing sounds good

Could it be very recent perhaps? The line "It is what it is, and it's murder most foul", the "it is what it is" specifically, reminds me of Pesci saying that a few times in The Irishman when it had finally been decided to kill Hoffa...

I have been thinking a lot about when this song might have been recorded. In something I read there was a suggestion that it could have been all the way back to the Tempest sessions but I don't think the voice is the same, it's quite raspy on Tempest and I don't hear that in Murder Most Foul. There's also a lot of violin in this song and I'm reminded of the fact that during his most recent leg of the tour, there seemed to be a greater use of the violin in many of the songs. The drumming still has me scratching my head - I think sometimes it sounds more like Matt than George, but then occasionally I think it sounds more like George than Matt. The post from Derek on the use of the phrase "it is what it is" is intriguing to me. I wasn't thinking of it by Pesci when he says it in the Irishman but just the term generally. I may be completely wrong here but I just get the impression that the term is being used much more recently than in the past. So this would point to Murder Most Foul being a newer recording. Of course this could just be my own wishful thinking. Of course I want to think that Dylan recorded it the day before it was released! And that this is part of a new collection of songs about to be announced. I'm still quite staggered by Murder Most Foul, I think it is an exceptional and moving piece which I am still trying to fathom. Perhaps most intriguing of all is the timing of its release, with the 'world on its side', a new and profound Dylan song gifted to us.
Thanks for reading, just a few thoughts I had.
Keep safe, God bless.

I too think that it’s much more recent than Tempest.

I’m gonna to say...

Hopefully one day we will find out.

How many rumors have there been in the last 6 years or so of bob in the studio? Recording with lanois, in Ireland in spring 17, doing something with jack white last year, being in Los Angeles a few months ago. Could be any or none of these.
