Dylan soundtrack for Cold Case

Blood On The Tracks, episode 84 from the fourth series of Cold Case, the US crime thriller, is remarkable: all eight songs in the programme are written and performed by Dylan:

- The Times They Are A-Changin'
- All Along the Watchtower
- Ballad of a Thin Man
- Thunder on the Mountain
- Positively Fourth Street
- Knockin' on Heaven's Door
- Simple Twist of Fate
- Like a Rolling Stone.

Many of the songs fit naturally into the plot; they also lend it much-needed gravitas. It’s well worth watching out for a repeat of the episode, originally aired last month on Sky One.
