Album Notes Bob Dylan/The Band: Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Robbie Robertson (guitar); Garth Hudson (organ); Richard Manuel (keyboards); Rick Danko (bass); Levon Helm (drums). Recorded in the basement of the Big Pink, West Saugerties, New York between June and October 1967. In 1967 Bob Dylan was recovering from his much-publicized motorcycle crash. To emphasize Dylan's startling fecundity, he laid down dozens of rudimentary demo recordings with backing from the fledgling Band. Eventually gaining an official release eight years later (with several delightful songs from a later Band session added), THE BASEMENT TAPES is a ragbag collection of alternately playful and serious acoustic-based songs that draw on a deep well of American tradition for their inspiration. Songs of the calibre of "Tears Of Rage", "Nothing Was Delivered" and "This Wheel's On Fire" on this ostensibly tossed-off masterpiece only serve to further underline Dylan's importance as a writer. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  A Must For Dylan and The Band Fans!Review created: 06/04/08 by:  This CD is a must for Dylan and the Band Fans, Many loose ends but the spirit of Sessions is Terrific. A harbinger of music to come from both Dylan and The Band. As a Band fan, I can never get enough, and these early recordings show the new directions that the musicians will take. Lot's of goos solid songs and a few odds and ends. Review ID: 10000000007403135 Was this review helpful?

Report this review A SPECTACULAR 2-CD set!Review created: 09/16/06 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Word has it that Bob Dylan and The Band locked themselves into a house and recorded this album in it's entirety. The result is an experimental, sometimes stream-of-consciousness mix of music and lyrics that are a treat to listen to. From silly songs like "Mrs. Henry" to other great tunes like "Dear Katie", this album is a great one to listen to all the way through. A must for Dylan or fans of The Band, as well as any serious rock music collection. It is one of the best albums ever recorded.+ Review ID: 10000000001868871 Was this review helpful? Report this review  After All These BootlegsReview created: 05/07/04 by: fuche_bu -- a member of Epinions Pros: a great disc in spite the flaws. Dylan and Band make magic Cons: they need to release the entire collection This is one of those legendary releases with a long history and many rumors and myths surrounding it. It is also music that was not even originally intended for release. It was merely six musicians banding together in a basement to make music together. The original sessions were done for their own benefit only. And yet somehow this has become one of the more interesting recordings in American music. The sessions with Bob Dylan and The Band were done in the basement at Big Pink. This was a home in Saugerties, NY rented by members of the Band. The recordings were made from June through October. Review ID: 10000000000218196 "The Comic Book and Me, Just Us, We Caught The Bus..."Review created: 07/31/07 by: brian_lettsin-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: A treasure trove of untapped <i>Bob Dylan</i> gems for those willing to tap-tap-tap Cons: <i>Goin' To Acapulco</i> is a stinker from Bob, and some dubious material from The Band There are people out there perverts and loons one and all who consider the complete recorded works of both The Band and Bob Dylan to be unlistenable mulch. Don t believe me? Well, I could give out their phone numbers and home addresses, but I fear over the next few days their heads might be dangling from a length of coil and used as the ball in a homely game of bumble-puppy. In which case then the first one is named Richard Friedman and he is a resident of Grangemouth, which for non-UK residents is the Scottish equivalent of Kabul. All those gun-lovers and twitchy war veterans are advised to.. Review ID: 10000000004524892 Ooh Baby, Ooh Wee, Ooh Baby, Ooh Wee, It's That Million Dollar Bash...Review created: 04/12/08 by: thevoid99 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Jams, Performances, Dylan's Lyrics, Downhome Feel, Raw Nature, Production, & Ode to Americana. Cons: None, Though It's Incomplete. In the mid-1960s, Bob Dylan was at the peak of his musical prowess as he went from folk music to electric. While courting controversy with his move to play rock n' roll from fans of folk music, the albums Dylan was putting out at the time were considered to be landmarks, most notably Blonde on Blonde in 1966. During that time when he went electric from 1965-1966, he went on the road backed by a band then known as the Hawks that consisted of guitarist Robbie Robertson, bassist Rick Danko, pianist Richard Manuel, organist Garth Hudson, and drummer Levon Helm. Though Helm left early in the tour.. Review ID: 10000000006848203 Basement NoiseReview created: 02/13/02 by: ericexile -- a member of Epinions Pros: Bootleggers Cons: Record Companies Boring And Self-Conscious Introduction: At times, it seemed almost a fait accompli; the urge to post on Bob Dylan took on a most urgent tone. Tap tapping away on the computer spewing my half-as*ed opinion about some here-today gone-tomorrow indie rocker, I think to myself, "What am I doing? Fry the big fish. You can do it." He's IT for me, one of the few performers deserving of the big G "Genius" without a smirk, my list is a short one - I assure you. I've heard of people who don't like Bob Dylan, some might even be decent, honest and intelligent listeners. Most likely in that order with a...
