I’ll have a latte and a Dylan CD
Bob Dylan made his mark playing in one cafe. Soon, he’ll be in thousands.
Starbucks Coffee Co. 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 Aug. 30. It includes the earliest known recordings of “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall†and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.â€
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.
