Prior to its release, Dylan had been plagued by ill health – a life-threatening respiratory infection caused by inhaling fungus spores, which he put down to riding his Harley in the Louisiana swamps. As Steven Hyden writes in his essay in the excellent hardcover book that accompanies this 5CD box set – Volume 17 in the Bootleg Series and issued to commemorate the album’s 25 th anniversary – when Time Out of Mind emerged, reviewers tagged it as a ‘mortality album’ – pointing to songs like ‘Tryin’ to Get to Heaven’ (“Trying to get to heaven before they close the door”) or ‘Not Dark Yet’, which is written from the point of view of a man confronting his twilight years. Digital versions of the complete (five disc) and highlights (two disc) editions of Bob Dylan – Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol.17 will be available on all streaming platforms on Friday, January 27.

Much more compellingly, there is stunning warm-up rendition of traditional ballad “Water Is Wide”, whilst a selection of thoroughly fired-up, often radically rearranged live takes of Time Out of Mind songs recorded between 1998 and 2001 makes a compelling case for a release focusing on Dylan’s potent live shows from this era.

And speaking of dancing these two as well https://youtu.be/uuaIffSAyYY?si=fQfM9VhK3b3Jdt7h and finally… The latest chapter in Columbia/Legacy’s highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series takes a fresh look at Time Out of Mind, Dylan’s mid-career masterpiece, celebrating the album and its enduring impact 25 years after its original release on September 30, 1997. Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol.17 follows the evolution of songs written for the album, from intimate early incarnations in the previously unreleased 1996 Teatro sessions featuring Dylan (vocals, guitar, and piano), Daniel Lanois (guitar and organ), Tony Garnier (bass) and Tony Mangurian (drums and percussion) through incandescent live renditions (also previously unreleased) showcasing Dylan and his touring ensemble channeling the songs on-stage from 1998-2001. As ever with Bootleg Series, it’s fascinating for fans to hear familiar material in its earlier form. The torch song ‘Make You Feel My Love’ is stripped to bare essentials, yet already feels special – few would predict that it would wind up being covered by Adele, P!NK, Billy Joel, and around 200 other artists… but it carries a certain magic, a sparkle right from the off.

The complete Bob Dylan – Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol.17 will be available as a deluxe box set in 5CD and 10LP 12″ vinyl editions. Also available, a two-disc/4LP standard edition of Fragments which includes the Time Out of Mind 2022 remix disc and a disc of twelve select Outtakes and Alternates highlights. Digital versions of the complete (five disc) and highlights (two disc) editions of Bob Dylan – Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol.17 will be available on all Streaming Services on Friday, January 27. The question is, how can you improve on a multiple Grammy award-winning album? Well, the intention of the remix by Michael H. Brauer, who also did a great job in remixing the iconic 1966 ‘Royal Albert Hall’ bootleg for Bootleg Series 4, was not to replace the original but to offer an alternative. What he did do was focus on recreating the intimate atmosphere within the recording sessions themselves, finding the sound that they actually heard in the studio at the time, thereby removing many of the effects and processing that were added by Lanois later on in the recording process. The new edition of Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series, Fragments – Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol. 17 is released as a 5-CD deluxe box set as well as a standard 2-CD or 4-LP version. It contains in the standard version the album Time Out Of Mind in a 2022 remix and twelve selected outtakes and alternative versions Photography By – Antonin Kratochvil, Daniel Lanois, Danny Clinch, Geoff Gans, Gilles Peress, Merilyn Rosenberg*, Mark Seliger, Randee St. NicholasMatrix / Runout (Side S runout): 19439981981-S 243430E1 1229118 MRP3791/19439981981/10-A STERLING RKS Dreamin’ of You’ (later soldered in part into ‘Standing In the Doorway’, which sounds nothing like it) follows, with a zingy, sparkling start that you can almost see, like a spinning disco ball, despite Dylan’s leadoff statement that “The light in this place is really bad.” About 'Red River Shore’ — well, I’ll save that for the last. Fragments, which comes as a 5-CD or 10-LP box set (or a 2-CD/4-LP set of highlights), begins with a fresh remix of the full Time Out of Mind album. In these mixes, the entrancing veil of swampy murk is mostly stripped away, revealing a more authentic sense of the rooms in which the sessions were recorded (at Teatro in Oxnard, California, and Criteria in Miami). Dylan’s voice is more upfront, the mix more immediate, live, and spontaneous.

Dylan’s near-fatal illness in 1997 inevitably altered the way in which Time Out Of Mind was received once it had been released, even though the whole situation was merely circumstantial. However, with the benefit of the new remix and a whole bunch of outtakes and alternate takes contained throughout Fragments, we are now able to view this album in a completely new light. Whilst I appreciate there will be a wide range of views on this from within the Dylan community, from a personal perspective, all of this has cemented my view of Time Out Of Mind as one of the greatest albums Dylan has ever released. We can only wonder what other great riches sit within Dylan’s vaults to be uncovered through future releases in the Bootleg Series.

Brauer at Brauer Sound Studios, of the eleven original recordings on Time Out of Mind. In his liner notes for the set, Steven Hyden writes, “The album itself has been remixed to sound more like how the songs came across when the musicians originally played them in the room, without the effects and processing that Lanois applied later. It’s not meant to replace the Time Out of Mind that won all of those Grammys a quarter-century ago; it’s a reimagining, an alternate view of a great work of art. If the original album remains mythic and enigmatic, this Time Out of Mind puts you in close proximity to the players.” The Time Out of Mind (2022 Remix) disc will be available in immersive audio, a first for a Bob Dylan recording. Shadow Kingdom originally aired as an exclusive streaming event in July 2021 and will now be available on vinyl, CD and streaming platforms for the first time.
