Positively Bob Dylan

A brand new promo music video to the song “Dreamin’ of you” was published on Amazon.com. The song is the new single off the upcoming compilation album “Tell Tale Signs - The Bootleg Series Vol. 8″.

UPDATE: The official music video “Dreamin’ of you” is now also available on YouTube:

Volume 8 of the Bootleg Series albums, “Tell Tale Signs. Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006″, will be released on October 7th. The compilation of alternate versions, studio outtakes and live performances can already be pre-ordered here in three different editions: the regular 2 CD set with 27 songs, a Limited Deluxe Collectors Edition including a Bonus CD with additional 12 tracks, a 150 page photo book and a 7″ vinyl single of “Dreaming of You” and “Ring Them Bells”, as well as a Limited Edition Vinyl Package.

Since a few nice features on this site are a little hidden in the menu on the right, I thought I could drag one of them out into the light. We’re in the middle of the summer festival season now and if you’re planning to go somewhere, you should take these songs with you as a Highway companion when travellin’ down some dusty road. Compile them, burn them, and play them f***ing loud!

Visitors of this website have voted “Mr. Tambourine Man” Dylan’s greatest song ever. The classic 1965 album cut off Bringing It All Back Home reached the peak of the Top 100 Dylan Songs rating in April, closely followed by - and this might be a little surprise to some - Blood On The Tracks’ “Idiot Wind”. A few excerpts from user comments on the song: “the lyrics/imagery are unapproachable”, “first psychedelic vision of rock”, “last verse has been my personal touchstone for close on 42 years”, “Dylan is restless and aimless he is searching for something”, “The amazing thing about Dylan is that he can bathe himself into the sickness of a song, and then come out again.”
