The New Basement Tapes\’
T Bone Burnett-produced album,
Lost On the River: The New Basement Tapes, was founded on a treasure trove of recently discovered lyrics handwritten by
Bob Dylan in 1967 during the period that generated the recording of his original
Basement Tapes. With Dylan having entrusted the lyrics to Burnett, the artists and T Bone convened in March 2014 at Capitol Studios in Hollywood to write and create music together for the long-lost lyrics, swapping instrumental and vocal roles throughout the marathon sessions. The result was dozens of new songs and recordings, 20 of which are included on
Lost On the River: The New Basement Tapes, which will be released by Electromagnetic Recordings/Harvest Records on
November 10.
Additionally, the original documentary
Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued will premiere on SHOWTIME on Friday, November 21st at 9 P.M. ET/PT. The documentary, which is directed by Sam Jones, will present an exclusive and intimate look at the making of
Lost On The River. A rare look inside the creative process of recording an album and the discovery of long-lost Dylan lyrics
, Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued captures this unprecedented musical collaboration between these musicians and their producer, the 13-time Grammy winner T Bone Burnett, as they record these newly completed compositions. A trailer for the film can be viewed here (
