So now we are up to Volume 8 in the long running Bob Dylan "Bootleg" series, first started in 1991. The "Bootleg" series has focused on 1960s and 1970s recordings, but this release ventures in new territory, as it looks back on (broadly defined) the last 20 years of Bob Dylan.
When listening to "The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8. Tell Tale Signs - Rare and Unreleased 1989 - 2006" (2 CDs, 27 tracks, 138 min.), the first thing that immediately strikes your attention is that unreleased and alternate tracks from 1989's "Oh Mercy" and 1997's "Time Out of Mind" cover about half this release (13 tracks, to be precise), and simply confirm how much on the top of his game Dyland was at those times. The crowning moments for me are the 2 alternate takes of "Mississippi", which kick of both CDs. While you recognize the tune, both versions are vastly different from what we would finally hear in the released studio version, and both of them are equally compelling. The gems are all over, to be honest. Check out the different versions of "Dignity", for one. Or the gorgeous "Red River Shore", another unreleased gem from the "Time Out of Mind" sessions. How could this have been left out from the proper album? There are a number of great live tracks on here as well, such as "Ring Them Bells", from the 1993 shows at the Supper Club in New York (can we get more of those, please?), and the biting "Lonesome Day Blues" (from a 2002 show in Florida). And on and on...

"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.."
There is only one person on this planet who could write prose so beautiful that they don't even require any music to be considered eternally lyrical.
And that, of course, is His Bobness.
For anyone who has recently seen him in concert, it would be all too easy to shrug off any musical output from Mr D--but don't be fooled by the 'croaking and cloaking' endless tour. THIS is the real Dylan--the mystical magician, the soulful song & dance man and the 'now you see it, now you don't' brilliant songwriter who almost single-handedly changed all the rules for all songwriters who came after him.
There are many great moments on this 2 CD set (ignore the other, more pricey offers--those are just marketing ploys by the money boyz at Sony) but only one song here makes this entire effort not only worth having, but a requirement for anyone who appreciates the beauty of words and images that transcend time and space: Red River Shore.
In less than 8 minutes, The Jokerman summarizes a century of Americana music, tearing down the lines between genres (country? bluegrass? folk? is there any difference in his world?) and makes it all look/sound so easy. A sad tale of a loner, a "stranger in a strange ... Read More

Excellent 3-disc set (worth the extra cost compared to the 2-CD
set which is less expensive).
