Blood On The Tracks: New York Sessions
March 15th 2009 18:50
I love Bob Dylan’s masterpiece Blood On The Tracks (released 1975). It is essentially a “break-up album” about his wife Sara (see my previous post from July 2008). And the heartache and emotions come pouring through in an honest and open way – unlike any other Dylan record.
Fans will know that is was (notoriously) recorded twice. Originally done in New York, then he re-recorded some tunes in Minnesota before issuing the record. The reasons for this re-recording are unknown to this day (some speculate Bob’s brother didn’t like to original). For More info
However, bootlegs of the NY Sessions have surfaced over the years and I thought I would share.

I have to admit that I really love the these versions; especially, "Idiot Wind". The Minnesota version is angry sounding, while the NY version (stripped to acoustic guitar in Open E) is much more sad, melancholy.
