Recording information: 1961 - 1966.
The soundtrack to Martin Scorcese's two-part PBS documentary on Bob Dylan, NO DIRECTION HOME is a two-disc affair consisting almost entirely of previously unreleased material. One couldn't start any further towards the beginning of Dylan's career than this collection's first track, "When I Got Troubles," a modest, folkish tune caught on tape by a high school friend and presumed to be the first original Dylan song ever recorded. From there, we follow the breakneck trajectory of Dylan's early career, as he develops at an unprecedented rate, from young Woody Guthrie acolyte (a rare version of Guthrie's signature tune "This Land is Your Land") to his own protest songs (Town Hall, NYC performances of "Masters of War" and "Blowin' in the Wind").
It's Disc Two where things really kick into overdrive; having made the leap from folk balladry to surreal word paintings, we hear Dylan developing musically by leaping into electric rock & roll. It's an undeniable thrill to hear the sacred texts of HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED and BLONDE ON BLONDE anew via the alternate takes included here, with modified lyrics and rhythmic inflections. NO DIRECTION HOME manages to provide hardcore Dylan fans with fresh meat while simultaneously chronicling the high points and songwriting milestones of this visionary artist's first several years of work.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - [A] zigzaggy but intriguing tour through some dusty corners of his vaults, as well as in its own piecemeal way illustrating his journey from Woody Guthrie wannabe to king of folk rock.

      Classic Dylan Live Recordings

    This is a great compilation of live recordings - classic Dylan songs. He was never known for a crystal clear, gorgeous voice, so don't expect it - it sounds like Dylan, so think great music and torturous vocals. But it's classic Dylan- the lyrics are incredible. For the true Dylan fan, these are great live recordings. Also, don't buy it because it's a movie soundtrack - it's just a compilation of great Dylan recordings. The "movie" portion of it has no impact at all. The studio recordings are more clear and well-produced, so if you're just starting out with Dylan, it's best to start there. But for the true fan, these are great live recordings.

      Essential Dylan
    Review created: 07/06/07(updated 07/20/07)

    I think Dylan's finest Era was "Bringing it all Back Home" through "Blonde on Blonde" and the best of those three albums was struck in the middle. This two disc set offers Alternate takes that were good enough to make the final cut. This set represents my favorite addition to the "Bootleg Series" ... so far!

      BOB DYLAN: BOOTLEG SERIES - THE LEGEND
    Review created: 05/23/06(updated 05/23/06)

    Bob Dylan is a singer in his own category. This CD Set has songs from his early years through today. The live versions of his songs provide an excellent feeling for his music. If you are a Dylan fan, I highly recommend this limited CD Set. You can purchase it from my ebay store at http://stores.ebay.com/TomsCDs-Electronics-Nmore for a great price.

      Great Bootleg Dylan
    Review created: 10/22/05
    2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

    This is a wonderful two disc set of early Dylan. The first disc consists mostly of solo Dylan (early), whereas the second disc is Dylan from the Blonde on Blonde period. Very nice version of "Visions of Johanna". I highly recommend this disc. It is essential for true Dylan fans. If you are just a newbie Dylan fan, consider just getting some of his early albums and, perhaps, Blonde on Blonde.
