MARK RONSON - RONSON 'HONOURED' BY DYLAN BLESSING

RONSON 'HONOURED' BY DYLAN BLESSING

LATEST: British super-producer MARK RONSON has spoken of his "honour" at becoming the first artist to receive BOB DYLAN's approval for a remix. Ronson has created a hip-hop version of classic 1966 song Most Likely You'll Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) taken from Dylan's album Blonde on Blonde, but still can't believe he obtained permission from the folk-rock legend. He tells AllHipHop.com, "It's the first time Bob Dylan has given anyone the original multi-tracks of his songs to do remixes. "I'm a huge Dylan fan, so it's a great honour, along with the fact that he heard it and approved it, because, as you imagine, he'd be quite picky." And Columbia Records' U.K. managing director Mike Smith is convinced fans will be just as happy as the legend himself with Ronson's effort. He says, "We hope the fans will see this as an addition to the canon, not a desecration. It's a new interpretation of Bob's world and adds to the mystery. We all approached the remix with respect and awe."
