Trouble No More – The Bootleg Series Vol 13 (1979-1981)
Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings release Bob Dylan’s ‘Trouble No More – The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 / 1979-1981.’
The latest chapter in Columbia/Legacy’s highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series showcases the music Dylan wrote and performed during one of the most surprising, controversial and inspired periods of his career.
As the 1970s ended and the 1980s began, Dylan responded to the changing of the decades with a three album trilogy – Slow Train Coming (1979), Saved (1980) and Shot of Love (1981) – of spirit-filled songs of praise, worship and devotion. These songs were as deeply personal and packed with poetics as any Dylan had ever written, but the force of conviction and power of faith evident in these performances baffled segments of Dylan’s fanbase (just as Dylan’s “going electric” had alienated folk purists in 1965).
The live concerts from this crucial epoch in Dylan’s history contain some of the most intensely jubilant and transcendent performances of his career. Bob Dylan’s ‘Trouble No More – The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 / 1979-1981’ offers fans and music lovers the opportunity to fully experience for the first time this extraordinary chapter in Bob Dylan’s musical journey.
With the exception of “Ye Shall Be Changed” (released in 1991 on The Bootleg Series, Vol. 1-3), none of the tracks on ‘Trouble No More’ have been previously released. This collection debuts 14 previously unreleased songs and a multitude of unreleased live performances, rare studio outtakes and more.
2CD standard version, packaged in a U-card with a separate booklet, similar to last Bootleg Series release.
