Dylan Bootleg Number 8

Am listening over and over again to this new set of recordings. Three alternate versions of Mississippi, all great, but THE highlight for me is an unreleased track from Time Out Of Mind, Red River Shore, sounds as one might expect with the Lanois production, and I feel it may be the best song on that album, even though it ended getting left off of it. Curious as to what others may think of this collection from, admittedly, my favorite artist.

Cheers

I have listened to the "New" bootleg # 8 a couple of times now and I am begining to form some impressions-
A lot of traditional blues flavor which I think demonstrates the staying power of the genre and Dylan's life-long obsession with the blues( read C. Ricks, Song & Dance Man III).
Some of the songs are so well crafted that they are wonderful in all versions- some of the "Oh Mercy" songs with out the D. Linois production come off as different animals.
As with most of Bobs work,I am sure that I will hear more and understand differntly as I continue to listen to this set. That is what makes Dylan's words & music so great.

Ben- You are correct- I read both , S&DM was difficult to locate but well worth the trouble- provided lots of insights to many of Dylan's lyrics.
I saw Dylan & Joni M. at Cole Field house at UofM- he sang the first two versus of "Blind Willie McTell" and went into another song after them.
