Bob Dylan’s shows at the House of Blues in Dallas got largely rave reviews. He and the boys kick off their tour of Mexico and South America tonight at a concert in Mexico City.

If you search YouTube today for “Bob Dylan Dallas,” there are a few clips, mostly short, from the shows at the House of Blues. There’s also this here audio clip of Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) from the February 23rd gig. I think it’s a wonderful performance, including some very spirited organ playing from the band leader.

Senor, senor, let’s disconnect these cables,
Overturn these tables.
This place don’t make sense to me no more.
Can you tell me what we’re waiting for, senor?

Another Dylan news tidbit worthy of remark: Musician Jack White talked to MTV News about the Hank Williams project to which he has recently contributed, put together by Bob Dylan. (Previous post here.)

“Bob’s putting together an album,” White said. “He came upon, somehow, 20-25 unfinished songs by Hank Williams: just the lyrics, no music, and he started to ask people if they would finish these songs. He did one, asked Willie Nelson to do one, asked me to do one, and I think Lucinda Williams and Alan Jackson are on it too. I think it might come out this year. It’s a cool record.”
