Bob Dylan's Next Album Slated for Sept. 11 Release

Bob Dylan's latest album, "Tempest," will go on sale Sept. 11, 2012, Columbia Records said Tuesday.

The album is Dylan's first collection of new material since 2009's "Together Through Life" ("Christmas in the Heart," a collection of hymns, carols and other traditional Christmas songs, was also released that year) and will coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the music legend's self-titled debut album, which was released in 1962.
