Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8

Bob Dylan - Ain't Talkin' [Alternate Version]

Bob Dylan

Undoubtedly, the most influential folk singer/songwriter is non other than Bob Dylan. And what a great time to be a Dylan fan, he's just released his latest Bootleg series, The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs - Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006, last Tuesday, and in a few weeks a (fan?) documentary Inside Bob Dylan's Jesus Years: Busy Being Born Again also comes out.

Where they last left off in the long-running so-called bootleg series, #7, those recording were rare and unreleased tracks from 1961 and 1966 (which included his very first recorded song, "When I Got Troubles"). I'm pleased to see that #8 focuses more on his recent material, from his No Mercy (1989) to Modern Times (2006). It's compelling because it would seem that only his last three releases (Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, and Modern Times) seems to be in the public's eye because they charted in the top 10 on the US charts.

Anyway, although there's no credit(s) on whoever compiled these tracks, it's evident to me that Larry "Ratso" Sloman must've had a hand in suggestions: not only did he write the introduction in the 60-page booklet, but he also painstakingly wrote notes for each of the 27 songs. I'm glad that Columbia Records is letting this massive fan put together the series, because only Dylan's hardcore fans/completist can truly make this worthwhile.

The Sloman essay details about his first GWW (Great White Wonder) bootleg to more recent quotes about his 2006 album, Modern Times. I suggest that anyone picking up this album to read it, as I suspect the majority of fans won't take the time to read the liner notes.

I had to dig out his last album, Modern Times to compare some of the tracks, to see what the differences are: and they are far apart. The alternative version of "Ain't Talkin'" is a little more upbeat, his vocals seems a little faster-paced. The version that did made it on Modern Times has more space in the song. When it comes down to it, both version of the song is amazing, but I felt the Modern Times version ultimately fit the album.

Bob Dylan - Mississippi (Unreleased Time Out Of Mind)

Obviously the blatant example that people will note is the three very different version of "Mississippi". We're given two unreleased version of the song on the Bootleg CDs, but the version that appeared on Tell Tale Signs is nothing like stripped acoustic version #1 or the what sounds like an evening verision #2. What a rare glimpse into Bob Dylan's brilliant mind.

Also, one interesting thing that I've observed is that as Dylan ages, his voice becomes more and more bluesy, so songs like "Marchin' to the City" (unreleased) and "Lonesome Day Blues" (live) sounds even better as he's gotten older!

Columbia Records did the smart thing and released this as a stripped down CD (retails $10), but I would recommend paying an extra $5 to get the 2-disc edition with slipcase and a 60-page booklet... which I think most people are going to get. Super hardcore Dylan fans might want to check out the deluxe version of The Bootleg Series #8, as it comes with a bonus 12-track CD, a slipcase, a hardbound book (150 pages). The price is pretty steep: over $100, you know you're worth it.

Bob Dylan's The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8 is out now and you can find this at any record store. Still not convince? Download a free song from this album through Amazon.com.

Welcome To The Sunday Soundtrack (RockTheVote) - 12 Oct 08

nobody@vox.com(Fresh!) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:17:25 +0300

Originally published at ::: Vibes N Scribes :::. You can comment here or there.

Hello listeners...

Welcome back to another edition of the Sunday Soundtrack, I appreciate you surfin' on over to check it out. I trust everyone is well. This podcast marks the return of the weekly editions of the podcast (by popular demand). I found that the bi-weekly thing was good to have, but the bottom line is that it boils down to time management of.....life...lol. That being said, here we go.

As you might have guessed from the title, the theme behind the title pertains to this historic election that is upon us. As I said in the podcast, not only get registered to vote, but TURN OUT AND VOTE. While voter registration drives are, by all means, NECESSARY, all the successful registration in the world won't amount to anything unless that registered voter actually votes. I'll close the topic by saying...don't ever believe the fallacy that you're vote doesn't count. That mindset is farthest from the truth. Despite historic reportings of ballots not being counted, and faulty mindset of my missing vote amongst hundreds of thousands cast won't make a difference is untrue. The simple fact (and mathematics) of the issue is if many thought that, those amount of votes could NEVER be counted. There are some of us that have ancestors that fought with their lives and suffered great hardship and injustice so that their future generations could have the right to vote. Don't disregard and disrespect their desires, work, sacrifice, and dreams....for you....VOTE on Election Day.

Ok, time to what is to be done. This week's playlist is as follows:

1. Get Into My Groove (Jazzanova Re-Groove Mix) - Incognito/Jazzanova-The Remixes 1997-2007
2. Get Into My Groove - Incognito/No Time Like The Future [Bonus Track]

4. Stay With Me (Grooveman Spot Mix) - Platinum Pied Pipers/Midnight Soul 3 (Disc 1)
5. Onikoroshi - Keston and Westdal/Super Structure Baby

8. Let It Go - Angelica Love Ross

As always, thanks for listening. Have a chilled week...and definitely...Rock The Vote...

peace,
F!
