Modern Times (Bob Dylan album) Modern Times is the thirty-second studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on August 29, 2006 by Columbia Records. The album was Dylan's third straight (following "Time Out of Mind" and "Love and Theft") to be met with nearly universal praise from fans and critics. It continued its predecessors' tendencies toward blues, rockabilly and pre-rock balladry, and was self-produced by Dylan under the pseudonym "Jack Frost". Despite the acclaim, the album sparked some debate over its uncredited use of choruses and arrangements from older songs, as well as many lyrical lines taken from the work of 19th-century poet Henry Timrod.

Tribute To Tribute To is an EP by My Morning Jacket lead singer Jim James (under the name Yim Yames), consisting entirely of George Harrison (and Beatles) covers. The EP was released as a digital download via his website, on July 7, 2009. The album was released as a CD on August 4, 2009. James recorded the album in December 2001 on a relative's eight-track reel-to-reel tape recorder, just days after Harrison's passing. Of the recording, James told "Billboard" magazine that "I felt like I was in the weirdest head space when I did that EP … I felt really confused a lot of the time. I wanted to just do it and let it come out even if I messed stuff up. It's definitely not the tightest or most professional recording you're ever going to hear in your life but I like that. I think it lends it a more childish atmosphere."
