A Complete Unknown: What Bob Dylan Is Doing Now

A Complete Unknown: What Bob Dylan Is Doing Now


A Complete Unknown is the newest Hollywood musical biopic, starring Timothée Chalamet in the lead role as a young Bob Dylan. The film has received relatively good reviews, with the highest praise being directed at Chalamet’s excellent performance as Dylan alongside the rest of A Complete Unknown‘s cast, while the actual storytelling of the film has been viewed as a little lackluster. Nevertheless, A Complete Unknown has reignited interest in Bob Dylan himself, as many find themselves wondering what happened after the film, and where he is today.

Many of A Complete Unknown‘s reviews argue that the film doesn’t go deep enough into Dylan as a person, pointing out that some of the most well-known songs of all time have been written and performed by him. Dylan’s music and popularity were undoubtedly at their peak during the 1960s and 1970s when he released his first major hits and started to become a household name. With A Complete Unknown shining an exciting new spotlight on the musician, many are looking towards Dylan’s newer exploits, and seeing what the artist has been doing recently.

Bob Dylan Is Still Making New Music And Touring

Bob Dylan Hasn’t Stopped Since His Career Began

Surprisingly to some, Bob Dylan is still actively making music and touring, even having quite an interesting movie career before A Complete Unknown. One of the musician’s biggest successes has been the colloquially named “Never Ending Tour,” which has been a consistent set of tours since the 1980s. While Dylan himself has shied away from the name, with each tour being given an individual title, most simply know it as his “Never Ending Tour,” which is still going strong to this day.

Since the 1990s, Dylan has released 14 studio albums, with many of them receiving the same universal acclaim that the artist saw in the early years of his career.

The latest leg of the tour began in 2021, called the “Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour,” in support of his Rough and Rowdy Ways album released in 2020. It only recently wrapped up in November 2024, showcasing just how strongly Dylan is still going. Since the 1990s, Dylan has released 14 studio albums, with many of them receiving the same universal acclaim that the artist saw in the early years of his career, now immortalized by Chalamet in A Complete Unknown.

Bob Dylan’s Last Album Is 2023’s Shadow Kingdom

Shadow Kingdom Is A Collection Of New Recordings Of Older Songs

In 2023, Dylan released Shadow Kingdom, which is an album that mostly consists of new recordings of some of his older hits, such as “Forever Young” and “What Was It You Wanted.” It also features one new instrumental track called “Sierra’s Theme.” The album garnered great reviews and continued Dylan’s streak of impressive projects, even as he reaches his mid-80s. While A Complete Unknown is a retrospective of Bob Dylan’s past, he is continually showing that he’s not down and out yet, and his new music is a testament to his legacy and skill.
