After a long career which has famously been `Bootlegged' many times, Bob Dylan has now decided to do what the fans have wanted all along and started to release previously archived material - unreleased demos, live recordings, stuff that never made it onto albums etc - in a series of official Bootleg albums. The first three volumes were a good mixture of alternative versions and live numbers that never made it to albums and included many important and interesting recordings, such as the original Blood on the Tracks sessions. These three volumes covered the period of 1961 to 1991. The fourth volume was the infamous Manchester concert from 1966, recorded at a time when Dylan was accused of being a traitor to the folk movement for his electric album Highway 61. So far so good, these were recordings well worth owning, especially the visceral '66 concert. Volumes 5 and 6 were throwaway live recordings with little extra of note, and volume 7 was a return to form with a well chosen mix of alternative, live and unreleased material from 1959 to 1966. This volume essentially picks up where Volume 3 left off, and presents live, alternative and unreleased material that has been accumulating in the archives from 1989 to 2006.
This period has been a great one for Dylan, with some critically and commercially successful albums through the nineties and early naughties restoring his reputation a little after the best forgotten about eighties. And it is good to see that as well as what we were given in the official relelases, Dylan's creativity was on top form and there was plenty of unreleased stuff in the vaults. The material presented here is genuinely new and interesting, with stuff that was recorded but never released and alternative versions of already well known greats that adds to your Dylan collection. It is an essential purchase for anyone who likes Dylan's output of the period, a fascinating look at how tracks evolved into their final recorded form and with the tracks that were cut from released albums we get some new and equally great recordings. 5 stars.

This album is quite simply awesome. There's nothing wrong with it! The live version of High Water is beyond brilliant. You'll find yourself playing it over and over again. Don't hesitate, buy it!
