Bob Dylan Will Add To "Bootlegs"

If there is one thing Bob Dylan has, it is "bootlegs." Hence his idea for his "Bootleg Series," we'd imagine, and he is ready to add more to it. The 9th volume titled "The Witmark Demos" will be released on October 19th of this year.

Billboard is reporting that the 47 track collection will feature songs from 1962 thru 1964 including, Blowing In The Wind, Mr. Tambourine Man, and The Times They Are A-Changin. In addition to the bootlegged songs, the compilation will include 15 songs that were recorded exclusively for this release as well as deluxe booklet with rare photos as the liner notes. This is Dylan's first "Bootlegs" project since 2008 and it should be a good one.

In other Dylan news, accompanying the release of this collection, Columbia/Legacy will release a boxed set of Dylan's first eight albums reproduced from their original mono mixes.

October looks to be the month of Bob Dylan in 2010. Check back here as more information becomes available.
