5 out of 5 stars Rare Cuts Deep   December 22, 2008
What a great release! Standout tracks are almost too many to list; here are the best of the best: (1) Girl from the Red River Shore. This song alone is almost worth the price of the entire collection. Lyrically a very moving song (some of us turn off the lights and we live, in the moonlight shooting by; some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark, to be where the angels fly;). (2) Marching to the City. Blues the way they were mean to be played, driving, dripping with melancholy. (3) Acoustic Mississippi. This track, pared down, shows how great this song really is. (4) Dreamin of You. Infectious piano, performed in a style not typical of Dylan. (5) Cross the Green Mountains. From a movie few people saw, a song steeped in Americana, 1860s style. br /Overall, these recordings in a strange way outpace the albums they were cut from. They are spare, less worked. Stripped down to basics, the songs themselves flourish. Generally the first disc has the real gems. Columbia could have released this all one CD and cut some of the weaker tracks, which tend to fill out disc Two. br /

5 out of 5 stars incredible   December 12, 2008
This is not only one of the best releases of the year, it is one of those releases that come around only so many years that single-handedly restores your faith in music, rock and otherwise. The first disk more than makes up for a few weak spots on side two. Awe inspiring


4 out of 5 stars If you didn't like Bob's last 2 CD's, buy this!!!   December 9, 2008

I am a huge Dylan fan, but not so much of "Love Theft" or "Modern Times". They are too traditional, too 1940's, too Leon Redbone. When his band rages on a blues or rock number, Dylan's voice sounds like he's gargling gravel while inhaling an eighteen-wheeler's exhaust-pipe. Totally shot. As great as the music vibe was on "Time Out of Mind", Bob sounded like he was dying, his voice reduced to a sickly croak. So I expected very little from this "Bootleg Vol 8" set. Instead, I spent a weekend in amazement listening to half the 27 tracks over over over. This set collects unreleased gems, better versions radically-diffferent versions of previously-released songs, and superb one-off songs he did for soundtracks to obscure movies you likely missed. Many of the songs have brushes on drums and subdued, atmospheric guitar, allowing Dylan to actually get expressive with his fermented voice. The first disc alone is his best CD release since "Oh Mercy" in 1989. It's that strong! The fact that more gems await on disc 2 is just a bonus. In summary: Dylan is still great, he just doesn't know which songs, or which versions of his songs to release.


4 out of 5 stars error   December 8, 2008
The music is great but I found to my dismay that the package came with 2 familiar discs (disc 1), so I'm missing disc 2.br /Is there any chance of getting another package?
