| 4.5 superb | JesusV4 | October 5th 10 |
After collecting all of Dylan's '60s material, I was really disappointed when I ran out! But have no fear, the first three volumes of the bootleg series have about 35 more songs from Dylan's folk period to supplement the four folk albums (Bob Dylan, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, The Times Are A Changin, and Another Side of Bob Dylan). In addition to the smorgasboard of unreleased folk material from Dylan's first few years, the other disc and a half has outtakes, alternates, and and unreleased songs from 1965 to 1991. Of course, some of the 80s stuff is pretty bad, but that's to be expected, and there isn't much of that collected here anyway. The collection offers another glimpse at what Dylan was like as he progressed - This is actually the first glimpse I've seen that suggests that his maturation was more subtle and less dramatic than the simple progression of changes in tone from album to album would suggest. Buy this as soon as you have collected all Dylan's 60s albums, and then as soon as you have heard a good array of 70s and 80s too, and it will be a great treat!

Dylan fans will love listening to the man's songwriting, structuring, ideological and philosophical development and processes. Note that I said Dylan fans.

Some superb stuff on this one, like "Who Killed Davey Moore?" and "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues." Not to mention great versions of "Tangled up in Blue" and "Idiot Wind."
