*****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.

*If you liked 'Nashville Skyline' and 'New Morning' , you should like this one...
I did enjoy those. Do you like the Blood on the Tracks/Desire era?Followup Messages:
