**
**Bob Dylan-The Bootleg Series Volume 10: Another Self- Portrait
**
**
**Highlights include Dylan's cover of Eric Andersen's 'Thirsty Boots'. 'Spanish Is The Loving Tongue' , 'Only a Hobo', and the alternate take of 'I Threw It All Away'... The ultimate highlight for me is the exquisite 'Pretty Saro', which features a Dylan vocal you wouldn't believe if you hadn't heard it with your own ears...
**Recommended especially for anyone who thought Dylan never could sing worth a damn...
**
**
**
**
** Also:
**
**
** Andwella's Dream-Love At Poetry
**
**
** This 1969 release would probably appeal to fans of the Small Faces' 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake' album, Blossom Toes, and early Traffic...
**
**
**
**Robert Pollard-Honey Locust Honky Tonk
**
**
**Bob's new one might just be his best since 'From A Compound Eye' which was 2004, I believe...
**
**
**
**Robert Pollard- Jack Sells The Cow
**
**
**His next to last release is very good but doesn't quite come to
**
**the heights of the followup...
**
**
**
**
**The Circus Devils- The Harold Pig Memorial
**
**
**Probably the most active of Robert Pollard's side projects... This is definitely one of their more accessible albums...
**
**
**
**Oakley Hall- Second Guessing
**
**
**Love this band and their blend of Fairport Convention folkiness, prime Neil Young , vintage Southern rock, bluegrass tinges here and there........ I suppose they're defunct now as they haven't released anything in about five years or so...
**
**
**Various Artists- True Soul Volume 2
**
**
**Even more killer 60s/early 70s soul and funk workouts from the tiny but mighty 'True Soul' label...
**
**
**
**Kashmere Stage Band- Texas Soul Thunder 1968-1974
**
**
** Instrumental grooves galore in this 2-CD package...
**
**
**
**Lightnin' Hopkins- Shinin' Moon
**
**
**
**Some of his most low down gritty work.... It kicks hard...
*
*Is that the new Dylan one? Worth buying?





IMO, absolutely...Disc 1 alone makes it worth the price as far as I'm concerned... Actually, 'Pretty Saro' and 'Only A Hobo' are enough to justify the bread...


I enjoyed Volume 10 even more than I thought I would...
