Here's what one article says:
Four of the 10 cuts on the Columbia release push the six-minute mark, including the nearly eight-minute Spirit on the Water and the nearly nine-minute closer, Ain't Talkin'.
Modern Times was recorded earlier this year with Dylan's touring band of bassist Tony Garnier, drummer George G Receli, guitarists Stu Kimball and Denny Freeman and multi-instrumentalist Donnie Herron.
The album will also be available in a special edition with a bonus DVD featuring four additional songs, details of which have yet to be announced. Dylan will support Modern Times with his third annual tour of minor league baseball stadiums, which gets underway August 12 in Comstock Park, Mich.
His last album, Love and Theft, was released on September 11, 2001.

The July 14th blog at http://www.firstthings.com/ has, in addition to links to some great ukulele clips, this little ad for their August issue:
His “unmistakable” voice has been mistaken. Despite the man’s own words, the Left still claims Bob Dylan as one of their own. Stephen Webb of Wabash College reviews Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews, a collection of previously unpublished conversations with the musician, in the current August/September installment of First Things. A convert to Christianity, Dylan consistently refused to conform to the 1960s liberalism with which he is often, and wrongly, associated. Listen again to Dylan: “I hate to keep beating people over the head with the Bible, but that’s the only instrument I know, the only thing that stays true.”
I've been reading "Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews" (I took it to Columbus). It really is a diverse and sometimes unexpected collection of interviews (there are other interview anthologies around as well, but this one comprehensive). One of the things that Dylan says many times when asked what he believes he says to look at the songs. He's never thrown certain songs away - and with the recent release of the DVD of his Gospel Songs performed by authentic Gospel musicians - even his overtly Christian music is under reappraisal (though I am not sure that Dylan fits with the "No Direction Home" Dylan). When you look at his whole life - you see how the scriptures have been with him from the beginning. Even now - and looking at the track list for his new album - we can anticipate that he's still pressing on. But you are right, Thomas, the old lefties see their Dylan ending with The Crash.
