Songs
It was published five years after the album " Love and Theft " and contains ten new songs that with the then current musicians of his touring band in the spring of 2006 took up Dylan within three weeks in a studio in New York - just a week after the samples for the album earlier this year in the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, an old theater in Poughkeepsie (New York). With "Modern Times" Dylan made the first ever No. 1 ranking in the U.S. charts since his album Desire in 1976.
Shortly after its release was kindled especially on the pages of The New York Times is a controversy as to whether Dylan was guilty of plagiarism in his texts. In several songs, there are obviously borrowed from the poems of Henry Timrod (1828-1867), who had come in the Civil War as an apologist of the southern states to fame.
Cover
The cover of Modern Times shows a photograph of Ted Croners entitled Taxi, New York Night ( 1947). Ted Croner died on 15 August 2005 at the age of 82 years. He is best known for his black / white photographs of New York City in the 1940s and 50s. Taxi, New York Night decorated in 1995 the single " Hedgehog" by American band Luna.
