The seventh volume of Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series doubles as the soundtrack to No Direction Home, Martin Scorseses's feature-length documentary covering Dylan's career from its beginnings to 1966.
Unlike the previous three installments of The Bootleg Series, which focused exclusively on live concerts, No Direction Home is assembled from a variety of sources, including home recordings, publishing demos, alternate studio takes, and live recordings. In fact, No Direction Home proceeds chronologically, filling in gaps between the proper albums or, more often, providing a parallel history of the most productive era of Dylan's career.
All of this material -- with the exception of two songs -- is previously unreleased, and much of it has not been widely bootlegged. What makes No Direction Home noteworthy as an album is that it is the first Dylan record to offer an aural biography of Dylan. It does a superb job of tracing the development of Dylan as a musician, taking him from a young folkie singing standards, through the rush of his early standards, and to the visionary music he made once he went electric. Put in this context, the electric music on the third and fourth LP's sounds as bracing and brilliant and surprising as it did in the '60s, while the acoustic folk on LP's one and two sounds vibrant, pure, and alive.
This deluxe 4-LP set includes two alternate cover art gatefold jackets ((Blonde on Blonde and Bringing it all Back Home), a 60+ page 12"x12" booklet all housed in an a special outer box.
