posted to another dylan thread:
but what i really want to say is i downloaded some stuff from the "new morning" sessions and i've gotta say it's a revelation. i long ago absorbed the complete basement tapes and the new york blood on the tapes sessions and the myriad outtakes from blonde on blonde... and frankly every other bootleg i've heard since then has been sort of just OK, even including the dylan/cash sessions. but this "new morning" stuff is amazing! although i say that as a big fan of the album, which i know is not a consensus favorite.
by the way the remaster of this sounds excellent.

Yeah my roommate counts this as the best Dylan album and he peed his pants when his remaster came in the mail. Need to listen to this again when I get home.

A friend that Dylan's piano really sounds great.

gotta get that remaster. btw, i agree, the outtakes are really great -- here's my own comp of some of the best stuff http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/100814102/winterlude-the-early-word-on-the-new-dylan-album

thx dude!

no prob. yr gonna like it! the "gypsy" there is worth the price of admission alone.
― tylerw, Friday, 29 May 2009 01:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes! This remaster and the "Hokoyo!" Thomas Mapfumo reissue on Water are my two fave reissues of the year so far...
― Craig D., Friday, 29 May 2009 01:36 (fourteen years ago) link
I think I've listened to "The Man in Me" like 50 times in the last week
what an album

was just thinking of something to listen to on my ipod good call

yeah this record is very very good
― tylerw, Thursday, 20 January 2011 23:23 (thirteen years ago) link
If Dogs Run Free is totally hilarious - a little jazz piano doodling, some dog noises, Dylan mumbling. AWESOME
― ex-heroin addict tricycle (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 20 January 2011 23:25 (thirteen years ago) link
weirdly, dylan actually plays that song live from time to time.
― tylerw, Thursday, 20 January 2011 23:33 (thirteen years ago) link
I had this on my iPod on my way to work today - put me in such a good mood, it's far better than I remembered it being. 'Day of the Locusts' is a great song! I don't actually own the CD anymore, I should pick up that remastered version.

Maybe this has been pointed before on the thread, but it boggles my mind that "Gypsy" features Dylan's only mention of the state of Minnesota

not entirely related but does anyone remember which ilx thread was the one where someone accidentally posted the album cover of 'empire burlesque' when they meant to post a different image and it turned into a running metajoke?

the electric piano outtake version of "went to see the gypsy" is A++

yeah it's something isn't it? nothing else remotely like it in his career.

wish it were on youtube or something for other folks

Listened to the album on a road trip today!
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 3 February 2012 23:11 (twelve years ago) link
this record has a sort of The Band vibe, but with a lighter touch
― buzza, Friday, 3 February 2012 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
I'll say it again: I love Dylan's piano on this.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 3 February 2012 23:30 (twelve years ago) link
wish it were on youtube or something for other folksi think it was released officially on some kind of itunes comp, but maybe just in the UK?
― tylerw, Friday, 3 February 2012 23:31 (twelve years ago) link
at this point in my life whenever i'm like 'hey i'd like to listen to some bob dylan right now' i usually go with this or self portrait

if only had to listen to one dylan song for the rest of my life it would easily be "Went To See the Gypsy"

there's some chatter in the dylan community that the next bootleg series is going to be made up of 1969-70 sessions. which is a good idea!

The back cover art of this album is so wtf, with that irrelevent Victoria Spivey photo and the album title in quotes with a kinda used-cars font - it's like he hoped it would be mistaken for a cheap bootleg or something.
― Faster than food (Myonga Vön Bontee), Friday, 2 November 2012 20:21 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it is pretty random, wonder what the thinking was. i read some essay a long time ago that made the claim that if dylan was bearded on the front album photograph it meant that it was not an actual bob dylan album.
― tylerw, Friday, 2 November 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
Sounds like a Weberman theory

My favorite line on this album is "once had a sweetheart she was fine and good lookin / I'd sit in the kitchen while her mama was cookin."

Columbus OH's The Randys tell me their Christmas party set will incl that Brave Combo version of "Must Be Santa" Dylan exuberantly cloned--followed or preceded by "Winterlude"!
