Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8

I have not heard all of Bob Dylan's recordings, but this one has to be his best yet. The maturity in his voice, his intonations and deep felt emotions. I can't decide whether I like Vol.I or Vol.II the best.
If this is Bob in his 60's, look out 70's.

This is a really great addition to the Bootleg series..all songs are from his more recent albums and there is, in some instances,more than one version of the original. I can listen to "Mississippi" practically all day, and now I have 3 versions of it.
Dylan's new songs seem adapted to his "new" voice...just perfect.

Bob Dylan's "also-rans" reach the heights of most artist's best work. This collection also makes you realize that there may be no definitive version of a Dylan song. The two versions of Mississippi included here are ample proof of that. While some may quibble that the "rockabilly" take on Dignity trivializes the song somewhat, it is still interesting to hear him attempt it. His band has perfected an elegant take on the blues that is very rich, while being blistering on the live takes. Overall, the variety here is dazzling. This set also makes clear that he has been doing some of his best work for movies lately. 'Cross The Green Mountain, written for "Gods and Generals", immediately ascends to the top 20 Dylan songs - ever. If you think you know Dylan, check this out and be amazed. If you're waiting with bated breath for his next album (as I am) buy this now for some instant gratification.

It is so fantastick that one man can make the best music that has ever been writen in the history of music.Thanks again Bob.And if you have the time please send us all a new brilliant CD.Eric
