Positively Bob Dylan

On November 3rd a previously unreleased and even on Bootlegs uncirculated studio outtake from the “Bringing It All Back Home” sessions (1965) will be featured in an episode of NCIS. The 44 years old track “California (Goin’ Down South)” will also be the opener for the official TV soundtrack album “NCIS Vol. 2″, which will be released on the same day. It actually is an early piano-version of “Outlaw Blues”, a song that later appeared on “Bringing It All Back Home” where one verse of the original version remained the same. For the 2009 TV soundtrack album the old track has been newly mixed and mastered, but fortunately you can still feel the spirit of the legendary recording sessions and Dylan at his best.

Here’s the original rare demo, enjoy!

Today Sony Music released Bob Dylan’s 47th studio album “Christmas In the Heart”. It’s both his first Christmas album and his first charity album. All royalties will be donated to the World Food Programme (WFP), the world’s largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger worldwide and Crisis UK. Bob Dylan commented, “We must each do what we can to help feed those who are suffering and support efforts to find long-term solutions.” (Source: bobdylan.com).

Alright, even Mike Hobo needs to have a break from time to time…so I’m gone for sunny Italy. Thanks for your continuing support in the past month, enjoy your summertime and maybe you want to return to my site sometime soon. I’ve been doing this for 12 years now and as far as I know only Karl Erik and his expectingrain.com have been online for that long or even longer.
I could have posted “Summer Days”, but I preferred this nice vintage VHS tape from “In the Summertime” (“Shot of Love”, 1981). Enjoy, and don’t get a sunburn!

Updated: The original video has been removed from YouTube, so I posted this bootleg version.
