Chud, have you heard the "Mississippi" outtakes from the "Time Out of Mind" sessions? They appear on the "Tell Tale Signs" set. The first of the three outtakes is the superlative take in my opinion, even better than the "Love and Theft" version.
I love both records, but I'll take "Love and Theft"'s wit and joie de vivre over "Time Out of Mind"'s ambient melancholia roughly eight times out of ten. It's always a big "whose side are you on?" debate in the Dylan world, which of those two records you prefer. Same with "Highway 61" and "Blonde on Blonde."

Completely agree. Really interesting to note that it was kicking around during Time Out Of Mind, too. Would love to have heard TOOM with Mississippi and Dreaming of You in place of one or two tracks.

I think the only alteration I might make to "TOOM" would be to substitute "Marchin' to the City" for "Til I Fell in Love With You." "Dreamin' of You" is superb, unlike anything else in Bob's canon really, but too many of its lyrics ended up getting transferred to the vastly superior "Standing in the Doorway" for it to stake out a proper place on the record. And of course, having "Mississippi" on "TOOM" would probably have it getting yanked from "L&T," which I wouldn't want.
I admit i searched for Kevin Davis' posts on the Bob Dylan board as a companion piece for his book.
That's touching, Skitch. I'm pretty sure all traces of that original board have been purged from the internet--which is good for me, as I was 19-22 during my years there, and probably not quite the forever delightful presence you've come to know and love here at our beloved RM.

So I was really excited about a Tempest listening party scheduled at my local record store this Sunday, and I convinced the editors at the online magazine I contribute to to let me cover it. Turns out it was last Sunday.
The silver lining around that particular rain cloud is that the album is now in stores, and I will be picking it up this afternoon.

I remember enjoying the short amount of time that I spent with it, but now I'm on a new laptop and no longer have most of those tunes. Check your inbox.
Any fellow Dylanites out there, this is a collection of odds-and-ends material I put together about 5 years ago that I find myself playing as much as any proper studio album, a personal compilation of B-sides, soundtrack material, non-album singles that didn't make Biograph, and some cream-of-the-crop bootleg stuff that no fan should be without--basically a bunch of great tracks that would be obnoxious to track down one at a time:
