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.

In our prior episode, NPR Music's Anne Powers and the Lincoln Center's Jill Sternheimer talked about musical canons, what makes an opus, and how legacies evolve. In this episode, Paula speaks with two gifted songwriters, Kevin Morby and Beth Orton. Together, they unpack the distinctive way that Dylan unfurls his narratives within song, the model of confessional songwriting that Blood on the Tracks helped build, And what makes these heartbreaking tunes endlessly listenable.

Consequence is also holding the All for LA benefit on the Consequence Shop in response to the deadly wildfires still burning in Los Angeles. 100% of proceeds from our new “Protect Live Music: All for LA” short sleeved T-shirt will be donated to MusiCares as they work to help music industry professionals recover; 100% of proceeds for all other All for LA merch, including The Opus T-shirts, will go to benefit One World Kitchen in their efforts to help feed those battling the fires and communities impacted by the destruction. Find out more at the Consequence Shop.
