    Aug 18 2008 - 8:20am

    OK, it's been a while between blogs again. Time to get back at it.

    Bob Dylan is still on his Never-Ending Tour, & is set to have Volume 8 of his official bootleg series released in early October.

    If you're a regular Night Moves listener you may have already heard "Dreamin' Of You', a great unreleased track from Bob's "Time Out Of Mind" album.
