Our Take

Bob Dylan's "The Early Years Rarities Vol" is a charming collection of oddities and gems from the folk legend's formative years. Dylan's raw talent shines through on tracks like "House of the Rising Sun," where his haunting vocals transport listeners to a bygone era.

The album also features rare demos and alternate takes that give fans a glimpse into Dylan's creative process. Standout tracks include "Man of Constant Sorrow," a heartfelt ballad that showcases Dylan's virtuosity on the guitar.

While some songs may lack the polish of Dylan's later work, they more than make up for it in authenticity and warmth. Tracks like "Freight Train Blues" capture Dylan's early struggles and aspirations with a grace and honesty that is rare to find in modern music.

Overall, "The Early Years Rarities Vol" is a must-listen for any Dylan fan looking to dive deeper into the artist's catalogue. It's a testament to Dylan's enduring influence and creativity, even in his earliest recordings. So grab a cup of coffee, put on your favourite beret, and let Bob Dylan take you on a journey through his early years.

About the artist

Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan, the enigmatic troubadour of the 1960s folk revival, is a name that echoes through the hallowed halls of musical history like a harmonica riff on a dusty country road. With a career spanning over six decades, Dylan has always been a shape-shifter, a chameleon of sound and style, forever evolving and defying categorization. Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota in 1941, Dylan first made waves in the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s, armed with nothing but a guitar and a voice that sounded like it had seen more than its fair share of hard times. His early protest songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems for a generation searching for meaning in a tumultuous world. But Dylan was never content to rest on his laurels. He famously went electric in 1965, much to the chagrin of his diehard folk fans, and never looked back. From the raw energy of "Like a Rolling Stone" to the surreal poetry of "Desolation Row", Dylan's discography reads like a roadmap of the human experience, full of twists and turns, highs and lows. Throughout his career, Dylan has been hailed as a poet, a prophet, a genius, and a madman. His live performances are legendary for their unpredictability and their sheer audacity, with Dylan often rearranging his own songs on the fly, like a master chef experimenting with a new recipe. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Bob Dylan is a true original, a one-of-a-kind artist who refuses to be pigeonholed or tamed. And for that, we salute him.
