In the years since, he has released nine more albums, as well as several additions to the Bootleg Series--notably, 2022's Fragments: Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997)--and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016. Dylan has also been on tour for much of the past 25+ years as part of his "Never Ending Tour." This show will highlight his six albums of original material (the last, Rough and Rowdy Ways, was released in 2020), plus select covers and live tracks, that were recorded during this fertile period of Dylans's career.
