Free Music Notes for Dylan (3CD) (Deluxe Edition)

Free Music Review: Great music, but unadventurous selections (erroneous in one case)
Hit: 5 Stars

I largely agree with many of the other reviewers who say that the 3-CD "Dylan" compilation is nothing new, so I won't re-hash those comments here. Unlike some of those reviewers, however, I give this collection five stars because the music is simply great throughout -- some of the greatest of the past 50 years.

But the folks who put it together weren't very careful. The booklet lists "You Ain't Going Nowhere" as being from the Basement Tapes album (the 1975 partial release of Dylan's 1967 recordings with The Band), which would make it the first remastering of this version of the song, as far as I know. That isn't the version that's included here, however.

The one included in this set isn't the 1967 version as listed, but instead, the early-70s version by Dylan and Happy Traum that appeared on Greatest Hits Vol. II. This later rendition is a great one, but it's already available in remastered form on the aforementioned GH Vol. II. How hard should it have been for the Sony/Columbia folks to include the right version of this song in the collection? You don't have to be an expert knowledgeable in Dylan esoterica to know the difference -- you just need a basic familiarity with his released albums.

What this says to me is that more care could have been taken with this set. The two versions of this song are not easy to confuse, as they sound very different -- it's not as though they simply confused two takes of the same song from the same recording session, which might have been understandable. Mistaking a 1967 demo recording with The Band for a much later studio recording should have been easily avoided. And when the collection is in more-or-less chronological order, as this one is, it upsets the overall organization of the set to substitute a recording that was made years later than the one that was supposed to be included.

Anyway, this is a good, if not particularly adventurous, collection. Yes, Biograph is much more interesting, covering both major releases and much previously unreleased material. And the ongoing Bootleg Series has given us many hours of great music that never saw the light of day before. So this new "Dylan" collection doesn't contain any new unreleased stuff -- I guess that just isn't the movie they were making here, so to speak. The music is still great, and it's nice to have it in one place. I just wish they had been more careful, and maybe had included a few of the less predictable songs that are just as great as these, most of which have already been anthologized.

(And how about putting out The Basement Tapes in fuller form as the next Bootleg Series release???)

Dylan (3CD) (Deluxe Edition) Poster

It's about time the record-buying public was offered up a decent, updated Dylan compilation! After all, artists with far less in the way of cultural influence, sales figures, or sheer release numbers have put out many more retrospective collections. Think of this, then, as your Dummies' Guide to Dylan. And for those who really aren't sure if they like the reedy Poet of a Generation? or not, there's even a single CD Cliffs Notes-sized version. For everyone else, there's a triple-disc edition with deluxe packaging and nifty artwork. Even the most marginal fan might quibble with the selection--shouldn't, like, half of it be taken from The Basement Tapes, rather than just one tune?--but there's not a mediocre song on here. It's a tad surprising that the songs are arranged chronologically, rather than grouped by grand themes, the way Johnny Cash's music was on his Love, God, Murder set. But then it is such a pleasure to watch Dylan's progression, to listen as he so quickly works through his influences, goes electric, discovers country music and then God—and then finally somehow wraps it all up together like some alchemical, one-man version of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. No matter how you wrap it up, or which commercials it acts as the soundtrack to, or what professors might try to eulogize it to death, this is music that remains as thrillingly alive today as a rattlesnake coiled and hissing in your boots tomorrow morning. --Mike McGonigal
