Just to say: this is a tremendous piece of work!
And: I don’t mind Dylan leaving gems off the official albums, as long as he puts them out like this instead.
And: in a way, it’s even better like this. Hearing facets of the work of a creative mind over a limited period of time can be even more rewarding than a single shot (like an album) or a carreer-spanning tour de force (like the original Bootleg Series 1-3).
More on this later. Stay tuned.
I completely agree. Outtakes, halfsongs, unreleased, it doesn’t matter. An amazing “bootleg”, as all his are. Speaking of unreleased and the like, I have some stuff that you may or may not have and/ or be in interested in. Shoot me an email.
I thought Dylan’s most accessible modern album was the Bootleg series, vol 3 – the one with the pretty acoustic Blood on the Tracks tunes. Everything neat and tidy, excellent songs, excellent music, not too much nasal twang.

Part of the second line from ” ‘cross The green mountain” is borrowed/stolen/taken/reworked/referenced from a W.B Yeats poem. Can’t locate it now, but someone who can work thin nefarious web can (or has a book of poems… IMAGINE!). “Heaven blazing in my head”. Hope this’ll help all your great work. With love and theft, Ois-spudz
