MINNEAPOLIS — Leave it to Bob Dylan to promise something special and not give us details. And he’s got a co-conspirator in celebrated producer T Bone Burnett.
The Grammy- and Oscar-winning producer is behind a new high-fidelity format for listening to music, and he has tapped Dylan to make the inaugural disc of “Ionic Originals.”
Burnett, who has long been dissatisfied with the sonic quality of recordings, claims this will be the first breakthrough in analog reproduction in more than 70 years.
There were no details as to when this new disc would be released and how to play it — or which Dylan songs would be involved. A news release promised that the music legend would revisit “a personally chosen set of his iconic songs for the first time in decades.”
