        The Basement Tapes

        Bob Dylan´s Summer of 1967

        by Jochen Markhorst

        THE BASEMENT TAPESWoodstock, 1967. The Summer Of Love passes Dylan by. While Sergeant Pepper converts the rest ofthe music scene to sitar, trumpets, sound experiments, strings, studio effects and psychedelics at all,Dylan and The Band sit for months in the countryside in a big house, playing antique folk and countrysongs in the basement of the Big Pink. In between, he tinkers and fools around with the band on aboutseventy of new songs that sound fresh and old-fashioned at the same time. Some of them are gratefullypicked up by others. Manfred Mann scores with "The Mighty Quinn", Julie Driscoll has a hit with "ThisWheel's On Fire", The Byrds throw themselves on "You Ain't Going Nowhere" and half the music worldis happy with "I Shall Be Released", to name but a few. As for the originals: the world has to make dowith sneaky bootleg recordings - especially The Great White Wonder achieves mythical status. In 1975The Basement Tapes is released, on which a modest, polished selection of the recordings can be found,and it's only in 2014 that almost everything is officially released: The Basement Tapes Complete isnumber eleven in The Bootleg Series.In his sixth Dylan book, Jochen Markhorst takes the reader along 32 of the best and most completedBasement songs, highlighting the backgrounds, history and impact of the legendary Basement Tapes.

        Mississippi

        by Jochen Markhorst

        MISSISSIPPI“I know of two versions of Mississippi. We thought we were done with “Love And Theft”, and then afriend of Bob’s passed him a note, and he said, oh, yeah, I forgot about this: Mississippi,” drummerDavid Kemper tells in 2008.For any other artist it would be a career highlight, but Dylan "forgets" he still has a masterpiece likeMississippi shelved in a drawer. The song has been in that drawer for almost five years. During the runupto and the recordings for Time Out Of Mind, in 1996 and 1997, Dylan made a few attempts, but inthe end, out of dissatisfaction with Daniel Lanois's approach, he rejects the recordings. The release ofthose rejected recordings, on The Bootleg Series: Tell Tale Signs (2008), doesn't really reveal what mayhave dissatisfied the master. Beautiful versions of an extraordinary song. The sound, perhaps - thathard to grasp quality to which Dylan attaches so much importance. In any case, this umpteenth attempt,in 2001, for "Love And Theft" is apparently satisfactory to his ears. Textually there are small differences,an intro has been added, but decisive - presumably - is that sound.Markhorst dives into the grandiose lyrics, the irresistible musical accompaniment, the rich musichistorical roots and the literary brilliance of one of Dylan's majestic masterpieces - and demonstrateswhy the song belongs in the outside category of songs like Desolation Row, Like A Rolling Stone andWhere Are You Tonight.

        Where Are You tonight ?

        Bob Dylan´s hushed-up classic from 1978

        by Jochen Markhorst

        WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT?"I don’t know if I could name all twenty-nine of my records, but I could name some of them. I liked abunch of albums I did in the eighties. I liked Street-Legal a whole lot. I did that in the seventies. "That'swhat Dylan says in a 1985 interview, at home in Malibu. Partly posed, no doubt. Dylan can probably listmore than "some of" his own albums. But it's telling that Street-Legal is the only one he mentions. Atthe time, in 1978, Street-Legal was burned to the ground in his own country. It bothers him. FromSeptember through December '78, Dylan tours the United States. He performs songs from the newalbum, but not that much and not wholeheartedly. And when he does, he remarkably often announcesthem with a somewhat sour introduction, even when announcing the album’s highlight, on December9, 1978 in Columbia, the last time Dylan will perform the song: "Thank you. We’d like to do a song fromthe new album called Street-Legal. This was a single. I know it sold about 100 copies. Anyway, I think itjust sold 25, but I guess that we can play it anyway." That’s not true. "Where Are You Tonight?" did notsell a hundred copies. Not even twenty-five. The song, one of the Very Great Songs in Dylan's oeuvre,has never been released as a single at all. Anyway, after December 9, 1978, Dylan will never look backat this monumental song, the song that belongs in the lineup "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall", "DesolationRow", "Visions Of Johanna", "Tangled Up In Blue", "Blind Willie McTell", the songs that justify Dylan'sNobel Prize for Literature. In his eighth Dylan book, Markhorst demonstrates the power and richnessof this disregarded and forgotten masterpiece - and why the song deserves a place in the canon

        Dylan & Ich -50 Jahre Abenteuer

        50 years of adventure

        by Marco Demel

        „Es war auf dem Summer Camp im nördlichem Wisconsin 1953, als ich Bobby Zimmerman aus Hibbing das erste Mal getroffen habe.Er war zwölf Jahr alt und er hatte eine Gitarre. Er ging überall und erzählte jedem, dass er ein Rock `n´ Roll-Star werden würde. Ich war elf und ich glaubte ihm.“So beginnen diese ehrlichen, witzigen und zutiefst liebevollen Memoiren über eine Freundschaft, die fünf Jahrzehnte voller wilder Abenteuer, Sinn suchenden Gesprächen, musikalischen Meilensteinen und bleibender Kameradschaft.Als Bobby Zimmerman zu Bob Dylan wurde und Louie Kemp ein erfolgreiches internationales Unternehmen aufbaute, klafften deren Lebensläufe zunächst auseinander, aber die Freundschaft der Beiden hielt fest.Ganz gleich, wie viel Zeit zwischen einem Abenteuer und dem nächsten vergangen war, nahmen die zwei „Jungs aus dem North Country“ sie egal wann und wo wieder auf und können auf gemeinsame Erlebnisse zurückschauen, die Dylan-Fans und jeden, der ausgelassen gute Rock `n´ Roll- Memoiren mag, überraschen und viel Vergnügen bereiten.Von dem Auftritt des kleinen Bobby auf einem Gebäudedach des Herzl Camp über die Entwicklungsjahre in Minnesota und sein Aufstieg zu globalem Starstatus, war Louie Kemp an seiner Seite – ein vertrauter Partner und Mitwisser, wie Bobby es geschafft hatte, seine Talente dazu zu verwenden, ohne Kompromisse dahingehen zu machen, wer er war.Louie produzierte Bobs bahnbrechende Rolling Thunder Revue – hier in fesselnder Genauigkeit beschrieben – und reiste mit ihm durch die exklusive Welt eines Rock Stars, verbrachte aber auch ruhige Momente und hatte ganz vertraute Erlebnisse.Als Louie heiratete, war Bob sein Trauzeuge, als Bob seinen jüdischen Glauben hinterfragte, brachte ihn Louie in die Gemeinde zurück. Und das ist nur ein kleiner Ausschnitt der bis dato noch nie erzählten und ganz persönlichen Geschichten.Haben Sie sich schon mal gefragt, wie es ist, das Passahfest gemeinsam mit Bob Dylan und Marlon Brando zu feiern? Oder auf eine Reise durch Mexiko mit Bob Dylan, Dennis Hopper und Harry Dean Stanton zu gehen? Oder in einer öffentlichen Essensschlacht mit Joan Baez verwickelt zu sein? Lesen Sie weiter.
