It’s been 50 years in the making, but Bob Dylan is finally set to release his 35th studio album.

“Tempest” will be released on September 11, a half-century after Dylan introduced himself to the world with his self-titled debut album on March 19, 1962. Columbia Records announced today that “Tempest” will include ten new, original tracks:

1. "Duquesne Whistle"

2. "Soon After Midnight"

3. "Narrow Way"

4. "Long and Wasted Years"

5. "Pay In Blood"

6. "Scarlet Town"

7. "Early Roman Kings"

8. "Tin Angel"

9. "Tempest"

10. "Roll On John"

Dylan, 71, has been on a bit of a roll(ing stone?) in the last few years. “Time Out of Mind” went platinum in 1997 and since then he’s won six Grammy Awards and had two albums top the Billboard 200 (2006’s “Modern Times” and 2009’s “Together Through Life”).

Oh, and there was that little event at the White House in May, where President Barack Obama awarded Dylan the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.

"There is not a bigger giant in the history of American music," Obama said. "All these years later, he's still chasing that sound, still searching for a little bit of truth. And I have to say that I am a really big fan."

J-Connection: Born Robert Allen Zimmerman, Bob Dylan’s paternal grandparents, Zigman and Anna Zimmerman, emigrated from Odessa in the Russian Empire to the United States following the anti-Semitic pogroms of 1905. His maternal grandparents, Benjamin and Lybba Edelstein, were Lithuanian Jews who arrived in the United States in 1902.
