A cache of Bob Dylan’s lyrics that date back to his legendary Basement Tapes sessions was discovered recently and producer T Bone Burnett saw fit to put together a tribute. Rather than simply let the words loose, he assembled a collaborative project featuring a star-studded cast including former Dylan tourmate Jim James, Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, Dawes‘ Taylor Goldsmith, and Carolina Chocolate Drops’ Rhiannon Giddens.
What resulted from their efforts makes up Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, a 20-song collection composed entirely of songs actualized from those found Zimmy lyrics. Today, the group has shared “Nothing To It,” a spirited, rootsy number that owes as much to Dylan’s friends in the Band as it does to the songwriter himself. Listen to that above and check out the record’s track list below.
