| The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8 — Tell
Tale Signs: Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006
10/7 |
The eighth volume of Dylan's Bootleg Series illuminates his
astonishing late-career renaissance, with live cuts,
movie-soundtrack work and dozens of never-before-heard studio
outtakes from albums spanning 1989's Oh Mercy to 2006's
Modern Times. "People are always saying that Bob reshapes
his songs live," says a source close to the Dylan camp. "These are
perfect examples here of how Bob rearranges them in the studio."
Many of the selections feature lyrics, melodies and arrangements
wildly different from the album versions, including three radically
varied takes on 2001's "Mississippi" and a folky take on "Most of
the Time."
