New Dylan Bootlegs

Fans of Bob Dylan, rejoyce! October 7th will see the release of Dylan's eigth bootleg series CD! Titled "Tell Tale Signs." The two disc set will include songs composed between 1989 and 2006. The CD, as has been the case with all the Bootleg Series CDs, will contain a 60 page booklet.

This isn't big news to anyone who doesn't love Dylan, but Dylan lovers can testify that these CDs are just as good (sometimes better) then studio albums by the bard.

I'm glad this one has rare tracks and b-sides rather than another damn concert recording. I know a lot of people get off on hearing them, but I'd much rather have a bunch of songs I've never heard before rather than Dylan wheezing it up and destroying an old song that I love.

I was blown away by the free download of "Dreamin of You" -- it's actually in the running for one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs. I mean, I loved the seventh Bootleg release, but the less cover songs and the more Dylan originals the better!
