NOTE: The first unauthorized Dylan CD to surface. It has
been regularly rereleased under other labels with packaging
variations. The sound quality is inferior to the better
circulating tapes.
rmd: Mostly traditional blues and folk material. Sound
quality is not very good. A good look into his early stage
presence. Several songs feature simple but very good guitar
arrangements. Vocals are clear and phrasing is interesting. I've
never been a huge fan of his earlier work but I like this disc more
the older I get.
