This is the companion to the 1988 field recordings of Bob Dylan. Perhaps moreso than at any time since 1979, he sounds truly spirited, demanding the listener's attention. Dylan's fiery breath brings new life to old gems like Masters of War and Gotta Serve Somebody, while songs that are great in most performances shine to their typically high standard here (Visions of Johanna, License to Kill). The acoustic set is interesting as well for the restraint paid to vocals on Give My Love To Rose and Wagoner's Lad. Mama, You Been On My Mind receives one of its most pleasant airings.
By contrast to 1987 and 1989, Dylan's voice is powerful here in a way that evokes 1974 with a shade more nuance. The most striking conclusion I reached while listening to the vast array of tapes from 1988 is how similar '88 and '74 are in tone. Both are perhaps a bit under-appreciated and well-served by delving into them with an open mind.
