Johnny Depp to feature on new Bob Dylan album

Superstar Johnny Depp will appear on a new album based on Bob Dylan's 'lost' lyrics.

Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes is the result of Dylan handing a collection of unused songs over to producer T-Bone Burnett to find a use for, reported Digital Spy.

Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons, Elvis Costello, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Rhiannon Giddens of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes will all feature on the album.

Depp, 51, will appear on the record, playing guitar on the track Kansas City - something which occurred when Costello was unable to make a recording session due to a show.

Last month, Depp made a cameo appearance in Paul McCartney's music video for Early Days.
