Reviews Customer Reviews for No Direction Home The Soundtrack The Bootleg Series Vol 7      This is the album that got me into Dylan      Rating:      Before I heard this album, I viewed Dylan as over rated and I did not understand what all the fuss was about. The main song I had heard before this was rainy day women with it's horrable lyrics "everybody must get stoned". But this album made me realize what a genius, word smith Dylan really was. Many of the songs on it are the best versions including: Don't Think Twice, Blowing in the Wind, Chimes of Freedom, Hard rain and so forth. This is a MUST have Dylan compilation and it stands as my favorite!     Customer Reviews for No Direction Home The Soundtrack The Bootleg Series Vol 7 Cd      uneven      Rating:      I would disagree with anyone who says this isn't just for serious Dylan fans. I am one, and there's still a lot here I wouldn't want to listen to very often....a lot of the songs are alternate takes where he seems to be working out the melody or instrumentation or lyrics for a particular song, & while they're interesting as insights into his creative process, it also becomes clear after listening a few times that these versions got rejected b/c they're just not as good as the ones that were released. If you're looking for alternate takes on Dylan tunes, you're better off with some of the many live recordings - I'd pick bootleg 4, 5 & 6 over this, and the Concert for Kampuchea set. Editorial Reviews for No Direction Home The Soundtrack The Bootleg Series Vol 7 Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Book-ended with an embryonic recording made by a high school friend and a live, boisterous take of "Like a Rolling Stone" less than seven years later, the fifth release in the Bob Dylan Bootleg series (and the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary of the same name) proffers just how far the folk idol turned rock star had come between his last year in a Minnesota high school and 1966's contentious UK tour. The double CD is sequenced chronologically and features 26 rare and unreleased recordings (most between 1961 and 1966), including 1959's muddied "When I Got Troubles,' reportedly the first song Dylan ever put to tape, and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," performed live soon after Dylan's arrival in New York. While the usual suspects are present--"Don't Think Twice It's Alright," "Masters of War," "Mr. Tambourine Man"--this collection unravels the unexpected, including an outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan ("Sally Gal"), captivating alternate takes of "She Belongs To Me," "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" and "Visions of Johanna" (with full band) and the ripping electric version of "Maggie's Farm" that throttled the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and carried Dylan over the genre-influencing threshold into generation-altering icon status. --Scott Holter Recommended Bob Dylan The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991 [BOX SET] The Bootleg Series, Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live, 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall Concert Bob Dylan Live 1975 (The Bootleg Series Volume 5) Bootleg Series, Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964 - Concert at Philharmonic Hall No Direction Home [DVD] Don't Look Back [DVD]
