This 2-CD compilation is a collection of some of Woody Guthrie’s finest recordings, all of which have been performed by Woody’s greatest admirer, Bob Dylan.

Woody Guthrie was indisputably the single most important influence on Bob Dylan’s early career and life. Dylan left Minnesota’s “10,000 lakes” for the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple in late December 1960. His chief reason for making the 1,200-mile journey was to meet his idol, Woody Guthrie, and on his first full day in a snowbound New York City (January 25, 1961) he ventured out to the gloomy granite building that was Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital in New Jersey to see his wounded hero. “It was a strange environment to meet anybody,” Dylan wrote in ‘Chronicles Volume One’, “least of all the true voice of the American Spirit.”  More Details

In the summer and fall of 1967, while he was recuperating from his motorcycle accident in Woodstock, Dylan regularly got together with members of his 1966 backing group (who would become known as The Band) for informal sessions. Luckily for everyone, the musicians left a tape recorder running much of the time. The tapes fell into the hands of collectors and were widely circulated and bootlegged. In 1975, Columbia Records officially assembled twenty-four of the performances on a two-disc set known as The Basement Tapes. The songs hold a unique and precious place in Dylan's work. More Details

Before The Flood is a double-album souvenir of Dylan's record-breaking, critically-acclaimed 1974 North American tour with The Band. It is also a document of a transitional period in Dylan's life and art. Dylan tears through his greatest songs in a manner that might not be comforting, but guarantees it to be one of the best live albums ever. More Details

New Morning expands on the laid-back country-rock of John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline by adding a more pronounced rock & roll edge. The album is filled out with love songs, pop songs, pastorales like "Winterlude" (a waltz) as well as the funny, deadpan "If Dogs Run Free," making New Morning a charming, endearing record.
