Here's Brett
Whiteley's words on Bob Dylan (track 2):
It's the most satisfactory voice in pop, I
think, there's this sort of ??? and Courvoisier and the best sort of hissing
and low gravel Jewishness in it.
And here's
Bob's words on Brett (track 3):
Hey listen, you could say hi to this Guy Brett
Whiteley, yeah. Is he still out there painting? He gave me some drawings the
last time there and they still look good to me.
New stuff: 15 seconds from the 1992 Stuart Coupe
interview.

Shelter
From The Storm |
Bob Dylan |
The last
track is taken from the second Blood On The Tracks session at A & R Studios
in New York City, September 17, 1974. It is a 6-minute version with a
"new" verse:
Now the bonds are broken
But they can be retied
For one more journey to the woods
The holes where spirits hide
It's a never-ending battle
Full of peace that's always torn
Come in, she said, I'll give ya
Shelter From The Storm
It is probably
the first take of the song. On the released track the bass (Tony Brown) and
organ (Paul Griffin) are mixed out, thus making it a sound like a solo
recording. The reason for this according to Danny Bramson, one of the
soundtrack producers, is that although Dylan counts off the song, Tony Brown
misses the start and is out of timing all through the track.
New stuff: An alternate take from 1974, 6 minutes.
So we had to
buy no less than 6 CDs to get a cover, an old outtake, a live version of the
most played song ever and a 15 second interview snippet, all in all 16 minutes!
Oh, well.
