Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Subtitled "Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006", Tell Tale Signs, the eighth of Dylan's long running Bootleg series of officially approved outtakes, comes in two formats. The two-disc version consists of 27 tracks, including alternate versions of songs from his last three studio sets: Oh Mercy, Time out of Mind and Modern Times. Even non-obsessives will be seduced by the highlights here. A lovely sparse solo version of "Most of the Time", just Dylan strumming guitar and blowing a wheezy harmonica, outdoes the Daniel Lanois-produced original. The bleak, stately "Can't Escape from You", the sad and beautiful Civil War epic "Cross the Green Mountain", "The Lonesome River" a bluegrass standard with vocals from Ralph Stanley and a great, lo-fi live version of Reverend Gary Davis's influential "Cocaine Blues" are all standouts. Two versions of "Dignity"--a piano demo that reduces it to an oddly naked state and an unexpected rockabilly take--neatly capture the idea behind these volumes--to expose dedicated fans to the overlooked and underestimated parts of Dylan's constantly shifting oeuvre. --Steve Jelbert

Another Classic Volume in Dylan's Bootleg Series,
By endlessharmony (bristol) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol.8/Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006 (Audio CD)
Once again, the Bob Dylan bootleg series has unearthed some great unreleased gems, demos, outtakes and live recordings this time ranging from the period of 'Oh Mercy' to 'Modern Times'. The stripped down songs such as 'Mississippi' are very different to the released versions and in many respects more poignant.'Red River Shore', an unreleased outtake from 'Time Out Of Mind' is the outstanding track in the collection, though its hard to fault any of the 27 songs. If you have any of the previous volumes in this series you will know what to expect and will not be disappointed. One of the best releases of 2008 and an essential buy.

More treasures retrieved from the Dylan vaults.,

This review is from: Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol.8/Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006 (Audio CD)
This double CD, the 8th volume in Dylan's Bootleg Series, contains 27 tracks(demos, alternative takes, unreleased songs and rarities) drawn from the period 1989-2006 which covers the albums from 'Oh Mercy' to 'Modern Times'. There are also 3 Dylan songs written for soundtracks and 6 live performances. The two alternative versions of 'Mississippi' from "Love and Theft" are radically different from each other and confirm Dylan's determination not to repeat himself. He once said that "a record is just a recording of what you were doing that day. You don't wanna live the same day over and over again, now. Do ya?"
Most tracks are fascinating but the highlight is probably 'Red River Shore' which was inexplicably left off 'Time Out Of Mind'. 'Tell Tale Signs' is another essential volume in the Bootleg Series and Dylan fans should plump for this 2-CD set and boycott the scandalously over-priced 3-CD version.

This review is from: Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol.8/Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006 (Audio CD)
This is a wonderful treat for all dylan fans and another astoninishingly great installment to his bootleg seies.
the best songs have to be, "red river shore" and "can't escape from you" my only advice would be buy this now but not the £89 one but the £13.00 one Darren 16 from Glasgow
