Who here loves Bob's 1967-1974 work where he turned his back on fame and made albums like JWH, Nashville Skyline, New Morning, and Planet Waves?

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I do. JWH was probably the first album of his I heard - checked it out at my local neighborhood, kept checking it out again and again. Nashville Skyline is also a favorite - the songs aren't "heavy" enough with meaning for most Bob fans, but I think it's perfectly alright to do an album of pop/country songs. These songs would've worked very well for Charlie Rich, Elvis Presley, or Johnny Cash. Rick Nelson did a great version of "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You".

Nashville Skyline is great little album with Bob's smooth voice. New Morning is my favorite, it shows Bob at one of the few times in his life where he was at peace.  It is a true shame that events in the next few years changed all that.

The 'Rolling Thunder' Bootleg Series is amazing. The band is loose and crazed. Dylan's on fire. Sadly, Joan Baez turns up and butchers my favourite Dylan song with him, but pobody's nerfect.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

That is a great Bootleg series, I wish they would have Bootleg Series release more of Bob's 1974 tour with the Band. Also want the full Basement Tapes released.

We also need a Bootleg Series Isle of Wight disc. Not Bob's best performance, but it's a rare one, and I think that merits a release. Possibly the nicest version of I Threw it All Away ever.

I like that show because he's in such good voice.

Agreed, it's a very important show with unique songs performed.

I wonder if there are many studio outtakes from the JWH/NS/NM period? I suppose most of the Self Portrait/New Morning outtakes were used on the 1973 "CBS' Revenge" album, "Dylan". I quite like the Dylan/Cash sessions, even if it is just them fooling around on studio time.

I actually think that period is him at the peak of his craft, if not his inspiration.

JWH is amazing, and one of his very best albums. The songs have very simple arrangements but that really makes the songs even feel more "old-west." I can easily imagine a lone cowboy sitting on a doorstep somewhere in the American Southwest in the late 19th century playing these tunes.

I'm not a big fan of the rest of the albums in this period, but I don't think he lost his muse during this period. He just wanted to relax and enjoy his time with his new family so he didn't push himself as hard.

Yeah good stuff I really like most of the stuff then except maybe some of the odder cuts on Self Portrait or Dylan. Even those I feel are underrated though. Nashvile Skyline, New Morning, and Planet Waves are among his best ever. Basement Tapes and JWH are pretty darn good too. I like his voice at the time. Very melodic for Bob.

Some of Bob's best singing is on the Basement Tapes. It was rare to hear him singing harmony with anyone before that, but Richard and Rick seemed to just join in like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Bob's voice on the basement tapes just sounds so clean and natural. He was just relaxing and recovering after the chaos of the 1966 world tour. The full tapes could make a great boxset like the SMiLE box.

That version is so good. I do love Nashville Skyline Bob, it would seem the next Bootleg Series is covering the 1969-1970 period.... Can I get a hell yeah?
