| Dylan - hands down. Probably never to be matched for generations to come... Although them Crows are doing a fine job. |

I guess you're right, Tucky, but I sure would have liked to have seen what Townes could have done if he had stuck around. There are no Dylan songs that tear your heart out like Marie.
If it's just me I'd be headed south, but Marie can't catch no train.
Well she got some pain and she thinks it's a baby. Says we gotta wait and see.
In my heart I know it's a little boy, hope he don't end up like me. |

| Dylan spins Mother Earth Blues on THIS ONE... a song Old Crow was doing in 2006 or so. |

LISTEN HERE youve got today and maybe tomorrow
After listening to the nearly 50 songs on The Witmark Demos 1962-1964, it slayed me to think that Bob Dylan wrote and recorded these songs before he was even 24. It's one thing to write "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" or "Blowin' in the Wind" by that age, but add "Ballad of Hollis Brown," "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues," "Boots of Spanish Leather," "Mr. Tambourine Man" and other bits of genius to the list, and it really hits hard what a phenomenal talent Dylan was at such a young age. Sure, many of them were riffs on other folk songs, but they were topical, courageous, surreal and sometimes damn funny.
Most of the recordings on The Witmark Demos 1962-1964 were made for the M. Witmark & Sons publishing company. Artists would record their songs for publishing companies so they might be heard by other artists wishing to cover their songs, or maybe for TV or movie use.
Witmark had a small 6x8-foot studio, and it's there that these songs were recorded and then transcribed into sheet music. So what you get is a fairly relaxed and young Bob Dylan playing his newest songs at the time. You hear flubs, forgotten verses, inspired playing and brilliant songs. Many of these tunes you already know, even if you're just a casual Dylan fan. But you've probably never heard "Mr. Tambourine Man" on piano, or the roughly 15 songs never released in any official form.
And you get to hear Dylan grow from a Woody Guthrie-inspired folksinger to a songwriter and vocalist with a voice that becomes his own. Remember that Dylan's first album only contained a few of his own tunes. At this time, he was coming into his own as a songwriter, and it's fascinating to hear that evolution here.
Hear an exclusive preview of almost two dozen of NPR Music's favorite tracks from the two-disc set until the release of The Witmark Demos 1962-1964on Oct. 19. Please leave your thoughts on the recordings in the comments section below. |

Listening now - Times they are a changing and Ship comes in sound really different with piano backing
thanks, rodge
PS i always wondered why some of the lyrics weren't correct in my old Bob Dylan chord book - it's because Bob sang em different on the demo!

Some of you may already know about this gem but...
I just found the really great bootleg. Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead rehearsing for their '87 tour together. 70+ songs! Waaaaaaaay better than that horrible Dylan/Dead album that came out. Great sound quality. My wig has been flipped!
Listen HERE
Download HERE
