Not just for hard-core Dylan fansReview created: 03/04/07

This 3-cd collection of rare and unreleased Dylan contains some songs that, had they been previously included on an album, would surely have been among Dylan's greatest hits. Most notably, "Blind Willie McTell". The story goes that, when asked, Dylan said he didn't include this blues tune on the "Infidels" album because he "didn't sing it right." Well, I don't know exactly what he meant by that, but I guess I would have to agree. The song's refrain is that "nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell", but this statement is proved false in no uncertain terms, by Dylan's own rendition of this song. Another great tune that should've been included on an album long before this one, is "Who Killed Davey Moore?" There's lots more goodies on this triple album, but those two songs alone make it worth buying.

In one of his most famous songs, Bob Dylan sings a line which expresses his significance: "We always did feel the same, we just saw it from a different point of view." Dylan's ability to see things more deeply than other writers propelled him into the public eye in his early twenties and has sustained him through 30 years of turbulent events and disillusionment. When Dylan sang "The Times They Are a-Changin'" in 1963 he was prescient, but some of his prophecies were fulfilled by himself. Pete Townshend once said that asking how Dylan had influenced him was "like asking how I was influenced by.

It is absolutely incredible the number of friends I have made with this album. Everyone has heard Dylan, everyone knows about him, everyone knows no one knows about him, everyone has heard a bunch of his famous - by now cliched - songs. Everyone has been moved to tears by him; everyone has been turned off by his refusal to even try and sound pleasant, at times. But no one who has not heard the Bootleg Series has had any more than a glimpse at the awesome genius of the man. I bought this collection back in '93, more from a 'fill the gap in my collection' motive than anything else. Believe me,..
