The 14-disc companion set<\/a> to Martin Scorsese\u2019s Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan<\/a> Story<\/em> just arrived in stores, but Dylan\u2019s team is already looking ahead to their next archival project. \u201cWe\u2019re thinking about possibly doing Bob\u2019s work in Nashville from John Wesley Harding<\/em> through the Johnny Cash sessions as the next Bootleg Series<\/a>,\u201d says a source close to the Bob Dylan camp. \u201cThe outtakes from that period have never been heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exact period they are looking at begins with the three days it took to record John Wesley Harding<\/em> in October of November 1967 and continues with the eight days it took to record Nashville Skyline<\/em> in February 1969. Of special interest to Dylan collectors is the fifth day of the Nashville Skyline<\/em> sessions on February 18th, 1969, when Dylan was joined in the studio by Johnny Cash. Their re-working of \u201cGirl From the North Country\u201d appears on Nashville Skyline<\/em>, but much of what was recorded that day has never leaked out. That includes a duet on the Dylan-penned \u201cWanted Man,\u201d which Cash played at San Quentin just one week after the session. They also played \u201cMatchbox,\u201d \u201cMystery Train,\u201d \u201cYou Are My Sunshine,\u201d \u201cRing of Fire,\u201d \u201cCareless Love,\u201d \u201cBig River\u201d and several others.<\/p>\n

Unlike recent Bootleg Series packages that compiled every song in the vaults from key albums Blood on the Tracks<\/em>, The Basement Tapes<\/em>, Bringing It All Back Home<\/em>, Highway 61 Revisited<\/em> and Blonde on Blonde<\/em>, this new set will only contain select tracks from the sessions. \u201cI think we did repeat versions of songs to death on The Cutting Edge<\/em><\/a>,\u201d says the source. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to find one really good takes of each song. The giant dumps of everything like we\u2019ve done in recent years really aren\u2019t my preference. I like stuff that is more curated.\u201d<\/p>\n
