Bob Dylan : Unreleased Recordings : 1969-1975




LOVE IS ALL THERE IS,

IT MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND

LOVE AND ONLY LOVE

IT CAN'T BE DENIED

NO MATTER WHAT YOU

 THINK ABOUT IT

YOU JUST WON'T BE ABLE

TO DO WITHOUT IT

TAKE A TIP FROM ONE

WHO'S TRIED


Bob Dylan : 

Unreleased Recordings : 

1969-1975

------------

 A Mashup 

of the

 following:


Pastures Of Plenty
Unreleased Recordings, 
1969-1971

and 

Bob Dylan
"Outside The Law"
Studio Outtakes, 
1973-1975


 A compilation
 centered on
 the period of time in which
 Bob Dylan
 moved from his
 'country' phase
out into a 
more aggressive,
 edgy sound. 
You can hear elements
 of both here,
 from the down-home
 singalong vibe of
 Rock Me, Mama
 or 
Sweet Amarillo
 to the outlaw ballads
 from the Desire record. 
And between these, 
of course,
 lies one of the most
 treasured sets of 
outtakes in Dylan's catalog
  the Blood On The Tracks
 New York Session. 
From this,
 Lily, 
Rosemary 
and
 the Jack Of Hearts
 is the most fascinating.
 The others hew closely to
 cuts found on
 the Bootleg Series, 
Volume 1-3,
 though they are distinct
 in their own ways. 
In particular, 
the rendition of 
Idiot Wind 
featured here
 contains no organ fills,
 and seems to
 have been 
very rare
 until recently.

I hope the collection 
sounds as good to you 
as it does to me
  it's a relaxing listen,
 full of long, 
generally laid back songs. 
Hopefully
 it's a fine match for
 sipping a beer 
and letting the 
mind wander along 
with these outlaws
 in (and out) love. 
Be it Hurricane,
 Joey, 
Billy, 
or the 
Jack of Hearts, 
you'll find someone here
 to hum along with.

Enjoy!
