Free Music Notes for No Direction Home: The Soundtrack (The Bootleg Series Vol. 7)
Free Music Review: Once Again, For The Aficionados
Hit: 4 Stars
I have spilled no little ink on the question of the value of various bootleg products, genuine basement tapes, fake basement tapes, etc. that have come out of over the years detailing the career of the premier folk troubadour of his times, Bob Dylan. The core of my argument is that if you have limited cash resources, time or energy (or, heaven forbid, aren't all that into him) then getting copies of his earlier albums rather than some of the more esoteric compilations is the way to go. That said, I recently touted the virtues of Volumes 1-3 (in one set) of this bootleg series for those with a little extra money to spend. While the current bootleg volume, the soundtrack to "No Direction Home", is certainly historically important it does not measure up in importance to the previously mentioned set. If you have to make a choice here get the DVD rather than the CD.
Of course the problem with the DVD is that, as with most documentaries the music is incidental so that while you get a feel for the music of early Dylan, only occasionally do you get to see a clip that runs through the whole song. Thus, if the DVD whets your appetite to hear more then you need to decide on getting the early albums or this CD. So it will really depend on whether you are an aficionado or not. However, for those who already have the early albums this is a pleasant addition to the collection. Plenty of alternate versions of classics like "Desolation Row", "Visions Of Johanna", "Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues", "Masters Of War", and some early things that round out the CD and DVD like an early tribute to Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" and a very early Dylan song "I Got Troubles". What is not to like, right?
No Direction Home: The Soundtrack (The Bootleg Series Vol. 7) Poster
Book-ended with an embryonic recording made by a high school friend and a live, boisterous take of "Like a Rolling Stone" less than seven years later, the fifth release in the Bob Dylan Bootleg series (and the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary of the same name) proffers just how far the folk idol turned rock star had come between his last year in a Minnesota high school and 1966's contentious UK tour. The double CD is sequenced chronologically and features 26 rare and unreleased recordings (most between 1961 and 1966), including 1959's muddied "When I Got Troubles,' reportedly the first song Dylan ever put to tape, and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," performed live soon after Dylan's arrival in New York. While the usual suspects are present--"Don't Think Twice It's Alright," "Masters of War," "Mr. Tambourine Man"--this collection unravels the unexpected, including an outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan ("Sally Gal"), captivating alternate takes of "She Belongs To Me," "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" and "Visions of Johanna" (with full band) and the ripping electric version of "Maggie's Farm" that throttled the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and carried Dylan over the genre-influencing threshold into generation-altering icon status. --Scott Holter Recommended Bob Dylan
