(From The Hartford Courant -- By Pat Seremet)
BOB DYLAN made his mark playing in one cafe. Soon, he'll be in thousands.
STARBUCKS COFFEE COMPANY has reached a deal to produce and exclusively release a CD of 10 Dylan recordings from NEW YORK's GASLIGHT CAFE IN 1962, when he was just finding himself as a songwriter. THE GASLIGHT, in GREENWICH VILLAGE, was a focal point of the folk revival in the early '60s.
BOB DYLAN: LIVE AT THE GASLIGHT 1962 will be available at STARBUCKS STORES in the United States and Canada on August 30th. It includes the earliest known recordings of A HARD RAIN'S A-GONNA FALL and DON'T THINK TWICE, IT'S ALL RIGHT, as well as folk standards BARBARA ALLEN and THE CUCKOO.
Fans have circulated bootlegs of DYLAN's GASLIGHT PERFORMANCES over the years, but these are the first to be professionally produced and remastered, STARBUCKS said Tuesday.
