Album highlights include Dylan’s “Tangled Up in Blue,” (often likened to “Brownsville Girl” for its non-linear storytelling), “Idiot Wind,” “Simple Twist of Fate,” “Shelter from the Storm” and “Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts” (a Western ballad that, soon after the album’s release, was turned into an unproduced screenplay by Where the Buffalo Roam scribe John Kaye). Ranked by Rolling Stone as the 16th greatest album of all time, Blood on the Tracks was released during Dylan’s “Rolling Thunder Revue,” a tour that itself became a 1978 film, Renaldo & Clara, directed by Dylan and written by the artist alongside Sam Shepard. “As longtime admirers of one of the greatest albums in the history of music, we feel privileged to be making this film,” says Rodrigo Teixeira, who will produce the new film alongside Fernando Loureiro. “Our goal is to work with a filmmaker who can create a classic drama with characters and an environment that capture the feelings that the album inspires in all fans.” A search is currently underway for a director on the project.
