Despite sounding like a horse racing commentator with chronic laryngitis it seems Bob Dylan may have landed himself a new gig as the voice of your trusty sat nav! After decades of anchoring wayward souls with his poetic odes to love and loss, Mr. Zimmerman is considering something of a career change, or at least a novel nixer! Apparently a number of GPS providers are in talks with the iconic musician in the hopes of securing his vocal services to provide voice overs for their products. Dylan himself had this to say about the prospect of becoming a dictator of directions, "I probably shouldn't do it, because whichever way I go I always end up at one place: Lonely Avenue."

You could never call Bob Dylan's voice beautiful, honeyed or even particularly pleasant but when it's telling tales of girls from the north country or heralding the dawn of a revolution it is among the most moving instruments ever committed to record. The combination of eloquent lyrics and brambled vocals is hugely affecting and most certainly greater than the sum of it's parts. So give me Blood on the Tracks for a road trip any day over Dylan telling me to hang a right at the next crossing for Highway 51.

Most likely you go your way, and I'll go mine Bob!
