Bob Dylan Releasing "Tempest" in September

The legendary Bob Dylan is about to celebrate a remarkable five decades in the industry and what better way to commemorate this incredible achievement than to do what he does best? 

It has been announced that Dylan will be releasing Tempest, a ten-track album that is scheduled to be dropped on September 11, 2012.

While some artists are trying to figure out how to come up with their second album, this will be Mr. Dylan’s 35^th studio effort and it’s just absolutely incredible to imagine that he did this for the first time 50 years ago.

The 71-year-old was recently awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, by Present Barack Obama who said: "There is not a bigger giant in the history of American music," Obama said. "All these years later, he's still chasing that sound, still searching for a little bit of truth. And I have to say that I am a really big fan."

Dylan has also proven that he’s not too old to be tangled up in some drama.  A 48-year-old man has recently come forward with claims that he is the singer’s illegitimate son.
