better than the originals December 27, 2008
s m green (Arcata)
only bob dylan could surpass his own established work from previous albums his versions of "everything's broken", not to mention a wonderful rendition of "dignity", just dylan and his piano, a five star pouring out of a old civil rights anthem "Ring them Bells" tops off "Tell Tale Signs"....
 Better With Time December 25, 2008
Dr. Ben Casey (Rocky Mountains above Denver)
Excellent mix of old and new, rock his new "easy" style. Honoring his roots and doing his own thing. He keeps breaking ground regardless of the critics just as in Newport & Nashville. Still the man - alias.
This series is killing my disk space December 24, 2008
Neil J. Katz (Monmouth County, NJ)
I am quickly filling up my 30 GB MP3 player with Dylan's Bootleg Series CDs. Seriosuly, these are a gerat addition to any Dylan fan's collection. I only wish more artists would follow his lead (hear me Springsteen?) and break open their archives. The collections are priceless - more...more...more!!!
Rare Cuts Deep December 22, 2008
Justin Mclaughlin (Minturn, CO United States)
What a great release! Standout tracks are almost too many to list; here are the best of the best: (1) Girl from the Red River Shore. This song alone is almost worth the price of the entire collection. Lyrically a very moving song (some of us turn off the lights and we live, in the moonlight shooting by; some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark, to be where the angels fly;). (2) Marching to the City. Blues the way they were mean to be played, driving, dripping with melancholy. (3) Acoustic Mississippi. This track, pared down, shows how great this song really is. (4) Dreamin of You. Infectious piano, performed in a style not typical of Dylan. (5) Cross the Green Mountains. From a movie few people saw, a song steeped in Americana, 1860s style.
Overall, these recordings in a strange way outpace the albums they were cut from. They are spare, less worked. Stripped down to basics, the songs themselves flourish. Generally the first disc has the real gems. Columbia could have released this all one CD and cut some of the weaker tracks, which tend to fill out disc Two.
Thank ya Bob December 16, 2008
James Hawks (Tennessee)
Tell Tale Signs, longevity, creativity, dignity just
can't explain, an artist's artist, how much I have appreciated
this mountian of talent, then this set comes along.
Just got to say, Thanks Bob it's been a great ride through the
years, if this is anything like the future put your seat belts
on, an outstanding work of art.
Thanks
Jimmy Hawks
