Bob Dylan - Mississippi
Dylan fans rejoice! From the newly released Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8 an early version of Love and Theft’s Mississippi (arguably the album’s strongest song). I have had this track on heavy rotation. It has given me a whole new appreciation for the song, and like many early versions, a valuable glimpse into Dylan’s creative process. This track, along with one other that is forthcoming, were the inspiration for the inchoate theme.
If you already love the song, enjoy it again for the first time. If you don’t know it, let Dylan tell you a story as only he can.
