Hat tip to Andrew Sullivan (if you have not seen his blog The Dish, you should) for sharing the release of Bob Dylan's Complete edition of The Basement Tapes. I am a huge Dylan fan and one of my favourite albums was, in fact, the original Basement Tapes recorded with The Band after he recuperated from his motorcycle crash. It is, in my view, completely underrated as a collection.
Amazon has this collection for sale here: Bob Dylan: the Basement Tapes Complete
I listened to some of my favourites on the samples provided on the MP3 and it is interesting to hear the evolution. Some of my favourites from the origins collection include:
Too Much of Nothing (haunting)
Lo and Behold (love the playful spirit)
Clothes Line Saga (great lazy day song!)
Million Dollar Bash (fun song about a party)
Orange Juice Blues (great blues song actually sung by The Band)
Yea! Heavy and a Bottle of Bread
Too many to list. I am just excited with the new collection and it is on my Christmas wish list!!
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did a really great cover of his famous "You ain't goin' nowhere"
