Do we still need the album? (Bob Dylan Hotline #8)

In this week’s Bob Dylan Hotline Laura and Rebecca about the way we listen to music – how do shifts in technology affect the way artists present their work and does that change the way we relate to it? Is the album still relevant or on its way out? And how does all this affect what we consider to be part of the Bob Dylan canon?

I barely ended up quoting from it, but do yourself a favour and read Graley Herren's excellent essay on Bob Dylan's 1980 San Francisco Residency.
