Folk Legend Narrates Trailer to Machine Gun Kelly's New Album 'Lost Americana'

Machine Gun Kelly dropped a trailer on Tuesday for his upcoming new album Lost Americana, narrated by folk music legend Bob Dylan.

"Lost Americana is a personal excavation of the American dream — a journey to find what’s been lost," Dylan says in the clip, describing the album as "a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom."

"From the gold neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces," the video, which you can watch below, continues, "where the past is reimagined and the future is forged on your own terms."

Does Bob Dylan Know Who Machine Gun Kelly Is?

As for how long Dylan has been aware of MGK is unclear, but the multi-genre sensation is clearly on the folk legend's radar now.

The 84-year-old singer did recently share a 2016 video of MGK on his Instagram with no additional context or explanation, too. And MGK was honored.

“Just the originator of doing everything opposite of what people wanted him to do, randomly posting a video of me back in the day rapping in a vinyl shop," he said [via Rolling Stone]. "I'm just like, 'What the fuck?' Just trust the signs, man. That was so cool. I'm so grateful."

Lost Americana will be released on Aug. 8. Watch the trailer below.
