Timothée Chalamet Dips Into the Bob Dylan Catalog on ‘SNL’

The Bob Dylan track decisions Timothée Chalamet picked for his “Saturday Night time Dwell” musical look have been… properly, fully unknown to many of the viewing viewers. The actor’s dip into extra obscure decisions delighted many Dylanologists who tuned in, at the same time as his picks defied expectations that he would recreate songs he carried out as Dylan in “A Full Unknown,” which turned out to be the furthest factor from his thoughts.

In his opening monolog as host, Chalamet signaled that viewers could be stunned by the alternatives throughout his musical phase. “You may not know the Bob Dylan songs I’m performing, however they’re my private favorites,” he advised the viewers. “I’m so grateful ‘Saturday Night time Dwell’ continues to be doing bizarre stuff like this 50 years in. They’re both very nice for letting me do that or extremely imply and that is all an enormous prank.”

In an unbilled cameo, Chalamet was joined by the well-known singer-songwriter James Blake on keyboards for the musical numbers, additional delighting eager-eyed music followers.

It was shortly obvious that Chalamet meant to carry out in his personal voice — and have some irreverent enjoyable with it — when he launched into two songs again to again for his first musical spot within the present, carrying sun shades and a winter coat with a hood over his head.

For that first look, Chalamet sang a fast, enjoyable and daring medley of “Outlaw Blues” and “Three Angels,” two numbers which can be well-known to severe Dylan followers however have by no means appeared on any greatest-hits album. “Outlaw Blues” does at the very least date again to the interval depicted within the film, having appeared on the 1965 “Bringing It Again Residence” album. The second selection, “Three Angels,” could be for inclusion if James Mangold ever makes a sequel — it’s from 1970’s “New Morning” album, when Dylan was settling right into a mellower mode after the explosive mid-’60s interval depicted within the film.
