Product Information

Latest chapter in acclaimed Bootleg Series unveils Time Out of Mind 2022 Remix + previously unreleased recordings including studio outtakes, alternate versions and live performances (1997-2001) of songs penned by Dylan for 1998’s Grammy-Winning Album of the Year Prior to its release, Dylan had been plagued by ill health – a life-threatening respiratory infection caused by inhaling fungus spores, which he put down to riding his Harley in the Louisiana swamps. As Steven Hyden writes in his essay in the excellent hardcover book that accompanies this 5CD box set – Volume 17 in the Bootleg Series and issued to commemorate the album’s 25 th anniversary – when Time Out of Mind emerged, reviewers tagged it as a ‘mortality album’ – pointing to songs like ‘Tryin’ to Get to Heaven’ (“Trying to get to heaven before they close the door”) or ‘Not Dark Yet’, which is written from the point of view of a man confronting his twilight years.

Disc One opremieres 2022 mixes, by Michael H. Brauer at Brauer Sound Studios, of the eleven original recordings on ‘Time Out of Mind’. In his liner notes for the set, Steven Hyden writes, “The album itself has been remixed to sound more like how the songs came across when the musicians originally played them in the room, without the effects and processing that Lanois applied later. It’s not meant to replace the Time Out of Mind that won all of those Grammys a quarter-century ago; it’s a reimagining, an alternate view of a great work of art. If the original album remains mythic and enigmatic, this Time Out of Mind puts you in close proximity to the players.” The remix disc will be available in immersive audio, a first for a Bob Dylan recording. CD 2 and 3 – both made up of outtakes and alternate versions – are where things start to get really interesting. Considering the often sombre and spectral mood of Time Out of Mind, it’s fascinating to hear how in some cases the different takes are much more upbeat and lighter than the final recordings. That all started with Bob Dylan’s gloomily overcast yet also discreetly mischievous 1997 masterpiece Time Out of Mind, which launched the legendary songwriter’s creative revival that has endured all the way to 2020’s sublime Rough and Rowdy Ways.Volume 17 of the acclaimed Dylan series takes a fresh look at the masterpiece Time Out Of Mind 25 years after its initial release and traces its creation. Beginning with previously unreleased song versions from the 1996 Teatro sessions featuring Dylan (vocals, guitar, piano), Daniel Lanois (guitar, organ), Tony Garnier (bass) and Tony Mangurian (drums, percussion) and ending with (also unreleased) live recordings from 1998-2001 Live Review: An Evening With Guise & Hannah Rose Platt, Three Wise Monkeys, Colchester – 7th September 2023 MyHome.ie (Opens in new window) • Top 1000 • The Gloss (Opens in new window) • Recruit Ireland (Opens in new window) • Irish Times Training (Opens in new window)

The latest chapter in Columbia/Legacy’s highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series takes a fresh look at Time Out of Mind, Dylan’s mid-career masterpiece, celebrating the album and its enduring impact 25 years after its original release on September 30, 1997. Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol.17 follows the evolution of songs written for the album, from intimate early incarnations in the previously unreleased 1996 Teatro sessions featuring Dylan (vocals, guitar, and piano), Daniel Lanois (guitar and organ), Tony Garnier (bass) and Tony Mangurian (drums and percussion) through incandescent live renditions (also previously unreleased) showcasing Dylan and his touring ensemble channeling the songs on-stage from 1998-2001. With that in mind, the first disc in this 5CD offering is a new 2022 remix of the original release, by engineer, Michael Brauer, who says he was trying to capture something that had more of a feel of what was going on in the room, with less additional processing. To be fair, with the new version, Brauer has nailed it – the remix is sharper, crisper and live-sounding; the performances are more intimate and immersive. It’s like you’re sat in the studio with Dylan and his band.Fragments sheds light on the gradual development of these songs during the extensive recording sessions, with the songs morphing into sometimes unrecognizable shapes (a robustly funky “Not Dark Yet”) as the album’s concept moved from loop-based minimalism to swampy extemporizations by a large cast of musicians trying their best to hang on as Dylan steered rapidly through ideas and arrangements.
