Digging Even Deeper With Dylan

Bob Dylan's Bootleg series is now up to 8 volumes. The latest covering Oh Mercy to recent day. And why not? Dylan is one of those artists who deserves a close look at his unreleased stuff and alternate takes. But the series has so far spotlighted all of Dylan's good years. I want to see stuff from his not so celebrated years. Like 1970-74, the pre-Blood On The Tracks years. Decent stuff then but nothing great. Or how about a bootleg series on his late 70's born again period? And why not one on his 80's stuff, which was over-produced and could use a look at alternate takes, before the gloop was added. Don't get me wrong. You'll like this latest Bootleg volume. But I want to dig deeper. Dylan is one of those artists.
