********
********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...

*LOL!! Really, when it comes to Dylan, there isn't much to not like!
Well, the mid to late 80s were pretty rough going... ' Knocked Out Loaded' and 'Down In The Groove' were mostly awful... 'Dylan And The Dead' was pretty bad too... I can't listen to 'Under The Red Sky' fro start to finish either... 'Oh Mercy' was the saving grace from that period...
