Michael Brauer was recently tapped to remix Time Out Of Mind, for the Fragments Bootleg Series 17 box set. Reimagining an Album Of The Year is no small task, and Michael tells us his goals for the project, what he was asked to do, and how he went about rebuilding this classic album and give it a new sound and yet be extremely true to the 'feel' of the original.

Michael has mixed four previous installments of Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series, and did the 2003 remixes for Bringing It All Back home and Blonde On Blonde. He also did the1999 Street Legal remix. He's a Bob Dylan fan and we discuss how he feels about radical changes to classic albums. In addition to the main album mix, we also talk about the first ever Dolby Atmos Mix for a Bob Dylan album.

Michael Brauer has won 7 Grammy's in a career that includes work for Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, Prefab Sprout, Deacon Blue, James Brown, Aerosmith, Jeff Buckley, David Byrne, Tony Bennett, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney, Ben Folds, Pet Shop Boys, Willie Nelson, KT Tunstall, Martha Wainwright) Prefab Sprout, Leonard Cohen, Pet Shop Boys, and man others. Brauer’s career began as an engineering intern at MediaSound Studios in New York City in 1976, working his way through the ranks to become a staff engineer in 1978. His first commercial break came when he mixed and engineered Luther Vandross’ debut double-platinum selling album Never Too Much (Epic) in 1981, as well as its follow up platinum album Forever, for Always, for Love (Epic) in 1982.

Sean Latham is the Director of the Tulsa University Institute for Bob Dylan Studies, which is related to The Bob Dylan Archives and The Bob Dylan Center. He is also the Pauline McFarlin Walter Endowed Chair of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Tulsa where he serves as Editor of the James Joyce Quarterly and founding director of the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities.

The Institute for Bob Dylan Studies at Tulsa University is the academic arm associated with The Bob Dylan Center and Archives, and they host conferences and events, publish, and do research and writing on Bob Dylan.

The Institute produced the The World of Bob Dylan conference in 2019, before there was a Bob Dylan Center, and before the Archives were even in a permanent home. It was a fantastic event that attracted 500 Dylan researchers and lovers to Tulsa for 3-days of presentations and special events.

They've hosted a bunch of events since then, and are now gearing up for The World of Bob Dylan 2023 in early June. They're currently (through 1/15) accepting proposals papers or presentations for this event. Sean tells us what they learned in 2019, what they're planning for 2023, and a lot more.

Scott Bunn writes a lot about Dylan songs at his ReclinerNotes.com website - and he's covered Highlands from Time Out Of Mind twice. In this episode he reads his entire first full look at Highlands, and then shares with us a realization/theory he has about "The Waitress" which was the subject of his second post.

Scott talks about the musical inspiration for Highlands, the place he describes, the humor, the Neil Young reference, and more. His 'waitress revisited' discussion talks about the debt Dylan might owe to Terry Allen for his song 'The Beautiful Waitress' (iTunes) (Spotify) (Tidal).

He also took questions and we talk about both posts and Dylan/Time Out Of Mind in general.

Scott wrote really interesting posts on 81 different Dylan songs during the 2021 and 2022 - and they've been broadly praised and discussed and even had some impressive hat tips links from the artists involved. After his Dylan series he moved on to write a bunch about Elvis Costello.

Jon Stewart is a musician and author, and holds a PHD in Music and is a huge Bob Dylan fan. His recent book is called Dylan, Lennon, Marx, and God and he talked to us about what the research he did for that book tells us about Dylan in relation to the songs on Time Out Of Mind.

As a musician, Jon plays guitar in The Wedding Present, and has appeared on albums by KD Lang and others. He is also an active educator, as a Course Leader at British and Irish Modern Music Institute in Brighton (BIMM).

Here he shares thoughts on Bob Dylan and Time Out Of Mind primarily in relation to how aspects of Dylan's education and the philosophies he has adopted impact the album. He presents his thoughts, and then we chat about both the themes he has shared, and all things Dylan and Time Out Of Mind.

Steven Hyden wrote the liner notes for The Bootleg Series 17: Fragments - The Time Out Of Mind Sessions, and in this episode talks to us about the assignment, his assessment of Bob Dylan in 1997, and how the narrative of the times stood up to 25 years of additional Bob Dylan output.

Hyden is a respected music writer, and his latest book is called Long Road: Pearl Jam and the Soundtrack for a Generation, and he's also the author of Your Favorite Band is Killing Me, Twilight of the Gods and several others. He writes regularly at Uproxx where he is officially the ‘Cultural Critic’, Plus: he has a new Bob Dylan Podcast focusing on Live shows from the Never Ending Tour - called Never Ending Stories.

His essay in the CD and LP box sets talks about how Dylan was positioned and perceived in the media around 1997, and how that narrative didn’t exactly align with reality and how 25 years has utterly destroyed the popular assumptions of the time.

In this conversation we talk about how Steven got the gig, what he was asked to do, his thoughts about summing up 60 years of Bob Dylan, what it meant at the time for a 55 year old to make an album, the role Daniel Lanois played, what the new mix and outtakes say about the album, his thoughts on the live tracks that are included, the future of the Bootleg Series, and much more.
