DYLAN, BOB – FRAGMENTS – TIME OUT OF MIND SESSIONS (1996-1

Time Out Of Mind ushered in Dylan as the troubadour for modern times, buffeted by life and scarred by loss, still nothing less than the showman; as he sings on Standing In The Doorway, “strumming on my gay guitar, smoking a cheap cigar”. Fragments: Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997) serves the showman well, making this era sing, one of The Bootleg Series’ most intriguing investigations so far into Bob Dylan’s working practices and mindset.
