BOB DYLAN Released His Live Album ‘HARD RAIN’ Today 50 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from the past

13 September 2026

BOB DYLAN released his live album HARD RAIN
on 13 September 1976, today 50 years ago.

The album was recorded during two concerts in May 1976
during the second leg of the Rolling Thunder Revue.

The idea behind the tour, Dylan said, was to “play for the people”, the people
who never get good seats at his larger concerts due to higher ticket cost and
inconvenient locations. Dylan chose to play in smaller auditoriums because,
he said, “the atmosphere in small halls is more conducive to what we do”.

The tour included some big names such as Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, Joni Mitchell,
Ronee Blakely and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. The LP’s producer Bob Neuwirth assembled
backing musicians from the recording sessions for Dylan’s Desire album, including
violinist Scarlet Rivera, bassist Rob Stoner, and drummer Howie Wyeth, plus Mick
Ronson on guitar.

The tour counted 57 concerts in two legs: the first in the American northeast and Canada in the fall of 1975, and the second in the American South and southwest in the spring of 1976.

JAY-Z – Hip-Hop Champ Released His Seminal 6th Album ‘THE BLUEPRINT’ 25 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

12 September 2026

Hip-hop champ, producer, entrepreneur and Beyoncé‘s husband
JAY-Z released his widely applauded 6th album, titled THE BLUEPRINT
on 11 September 2001, 25 years ago.

#1 in the US, (only) #30 in the UK

At the time of the album’s recording, Jay-Z was awaiting two criminal trials, one for gun possession and another for assault, and had become one of hip-hop’s most dissed artists, receiving insults from rappers such as Nas, Prodigy, and Jadakiss.

The Blueprint was universally acclaimed by music critics, particularly for Jay-Z‘s
performance and the album’s soul-based soundscape. It is widely regarded as
one of the greatest albums in the hip-hop genre.

Its impact is evident in the way it influenced a generation of artists, such as Kendrick
Lamar and J. Cole, shaping the sound and direction of hip-hop in the years that followed.

Entertainment Weekly said: “One of the greatest
poets ever to pick up a mic released his magnum opus.”
