Bob Dylan’s iconic 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks was released on January 20th, 1975. To celebrate the landmark record’s 50th anniversary, we’ve dug into the archives all the way back to 2018 to re-release the very first season of The Opus!

Hosted by journalist and author Paula Mejía, The Opus: Blood on the Tracks explores the legacy of both the record and Dylan himself, with special guests including Kevin Morby and Beth Orton, as well as episodes focusing on things like Dylan’s cinematic legacy. That’s especially fitting in light of the new biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Consequence’s 2024 Film Performer of the Year Timotheé Chalamet as Dylan.

Take some shelter from the storm and tune in to The Opus: Blood on the Tracks, with re-released episodes dropping every other day this whole week.
