Thread Name: Bob Dylan Albums Question
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan Albums Question
I don't own the Bootleg set but was planning on getting it after replacing some other vinyl that I have.

I listened to Rick's show last night and he and Peter T played Talkin' Hava Negeliah Blues. Now I had never heard this song but had heard it mentioned time and time again in various places. I expected something really deep, moving and wonderful. Instead it is Bob at his humourous best. I was giggling out loud. We often forget just how funny Bob can be, especially in the early years.

I loved the song that followed Talkin Hava Negeliah, the title escapes me but apparently it is the next song on the CD. Listening to it I got a sense that his much later Serve Somebody was an apology for this song.

So I guess I have to shell out sooner rather than later for this set. Maybe today.
