NEW YORK (Billboard) - Bob Dylan has completed a new album, "Love and Theft," due for a Sept. 11 release on Columbia. It's Dylan's first album since 1997's Grammy-winning "Time Out of Mind," which debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, his highest chart showing since 1979's "Slow Train Coming". "The songs don't have any genetic history," Dylan told USA Today. "I think of it more as a greatest-hits album, volume one or volume two...without the hits - not yet, anyway," he said. The 12-track album includes "Mississippi," which Sheryl Crow recorded for her 1998 album "The Globe Sessions." Dylan is currently on tour in Europe, but has 13 North American dates throughout the summer, beginning Aug. 10 in Des Moines, Iowa.
