New Bob Dylan video premieres today

Video exclusive is the word at Amazon’s Bob Dylan Artist store . Today the acclaimed singer and songwriter is premiering the video of “Beyond Here Lies Nothin’” - the first track from his upcoming album Together Through Life, only on Amazon.com. Fans around the world can get the first look here. Not only is the video new, but its content is also special…

Combining a series of photographs, the video uses a montage of celebrated photographer Bruce Davidson's 1959 "Brooklyn Gang" series to illustrate the song. In the spring of 1959, Davidson met a group of Brooklyn teens called “The Jokers”. That summer, he photographed the entire gang in their natural habitat, from hanging out late a night on the street corner to taking a Coney Island beach trip with their girlfriends. The “Beyond Here Lies Nothin’” video will appear exclusively on Amazon’s homepage until Wednesday, April 22, in the Bob Dylan Store for 30 days thereafter.

One of Davidson’s photos also graces the cover of Dylan’s 46th album, Together Through Life, to be released on April 28 and available for pre-order right now on Amazon for $9.99. Other versions include

· Deluxe (2CD/DVD), $19.99

· Vinyl (2LP), $24.99
