Bob Dylan has unveiled his first new song in eight years, "Murder Most Foul", and it's a 17-minute track about JFK's assassination.

The legendary musician shared the new offering at midnight, and released a statement on his site revealing it's "an unreleased song we recorded a while back".

He also sent his well wishes to fans, writing, "Stay safe, stay observant and may God be with you."

"Murder Most Foul" is Dylan's first new single since his 2012 album Tempest.

The expansive track is a journey through the '60s and '70s, making reference to cultural events and people such as The Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand" song, Woodstock, Stevie Nicks, and the Eagles' Don Henley and Glenn Frey.
