While not announced officially, Isis is reporting that Dylan has a new album wrapped up and on the way to market. Not too many details, but it sounds as though this one was born out of sessions for a movie soundtrack that somehow yielded thirteen new songs, ten of which will be included on the record. Also, at least a few players who are not part of Dylan's curent band played on the album, including Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos.
