****
****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...
*
*Is it stuff from the early 70s? I think my favorite Dylan is early-mid 70s.
Mainly 1969-1971..There is a i967 Basement Tapes track...
If you liked 'Nashville Skyline' and 'New Morning' , you should like this one...Followup Messages:
