Bob Dylan Through the Open Window
Columbia Legacy has released Vol.18 of the Bob Dylan Bootleg Series. Through the Open Window covers the years 1956–1963. The collection is available as three physical sets: two-CD or four-LP “Highlights” versions that contain 42 tracks, and an eight-CD “Deluxe Edition Box Set” that contains 139 tracks and has a running time of 8 hours, 59 minutes. The “Highlights” package is available streaming at 24/192, but the other 97 tracks are only available in the big box. That big box also includes a 124-page hardback book containing full credits, 100 photos, and liner notes—really a substantial monograph—by Sean Wilentz, professor of American History at Princeton University and author of the book Bob Dylan in America.

Kind of a 'pinch me' situation
In these days of industry transformation, acquiring a brick-and-mortar hi-fi store is not for the faint of heart. That's just what 41-year-old Brandon Bartee did in August 2025. Bartee acquired Audio Concepts from Mark Ashworth, who was celebrating the store’s 40th anniversary, all 40 years under his ownership. Ashworth has been consulting for the store since the acquisition and will continue to do so for another few more months. Audio Concepts has been in the same location in North Dallas, near Preston Hollow, an affluent neighborhood about six miles north of downtown, for 37 of its 40 years. The store has four isolated demo rooms and a few other listening areas.

It's difficult to put a positive spin on moving. A recent survey ranked it as life's most stressful event, ahead of divorce, losing a job, or becoming a parent. Forty-two percent of respondents said it brought them to tears. Thirteen percent said it was worse than a week in jail.

The passing of two Americana greats
Just before Christmas 2025, American music suffered two irreplaceable losses with the passings of Raul Malo (December 8) and Joe Ely (December 15). While a lot of musicians exist on the artistic and commercial fringes, Malo and Ely were foundational artists, gifted creators and performers who refused to be confined by artistic boundaries. Though not without their struggles, each eventually found widespread respect and success. Each leaves behind a significant body of wonderful recordings.

Vernon Runs the Hoodoo Down
Once and forever iconoclast Vernon Reid, the Britain-born guitarist for iconic American band Living Colour, is perpetually in pursuit of sonic excellence, regardless the point of entry. “A lot of different things have attracted me—everything from gentle breezes to thunder and lightning,” Reid told me during a recent Zoom interview. “I’ve straddled two centuries where I’ve been on a mission to explore different emotions, different modalities, and different ways of using the guitar.”

The Rolling Stones v3.0
In the Rolling Stones' long history, the Mick Taylor era was a peak, if not the peak. Taylor, who replaced cofounder Brian Jones in the late 1960s, proved a great musical foil for Keith Richards. He was a technical wizard on the guitar; those fluid higher-octaves riffs and runs were the perfect counterpoint to Richards's jabbing and stabbing and growling style. At heart, he was a bluesman, so a great fit for a band named after a Muddy Waters tune. The run of albums from Let It Bleed through It's Only Rock 'n Roll took the Stones' music in new directions and set the standard for tight, fast, and loose arena rock circa the early 1970s.
