******
******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...
*
*I did enjoy those. Do you like the Blood on the Tracks/Desire era?
You can bet your leopard-skin pillbox hat I do...Followup Messages:
