Fragments, which comes as a 5-CD or 10-LP box set (or a 2-CD/4-LP set of highlights), begins with a fresh remix of the full Time Out of Mind album. In these mixes, the entrancing veil of swampy murk is mostly stripped away, revealing a more authentic sense of the rooms in which the sessions were recorded (at Teatro in Oxnard, California, and Criteria in Miami). Dylan’s voice is more upfront, the mix more immediate, live, and spontaneous.

The original versions are a deep dive to the bottom of an icy lagoon. The album features seminal recordings from the artist’s coffeehouse era (Gerde’s Folk City, 1962), his mythic 1963 breakout concerts at New York’s Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, a duet with Joan Baez from the historic March on Washington (August 28, 1963), definitive performances from his European and world tours of 1965 and 1966, incandescent moments from the 1964 and 1965 Newport Folk Festivals and more. Fragments is the latest chapter in the Bootleg Series which digs deep into the archives of Bob Dylan to reveal a whole series of previously unreleased recordings including studio outtakes, alternate versions and live performances. This time the focus is on the multiple Grammy award-winning album Time Out Of Mind, originally released in 1997. Ian Corbridge gets immersed for Louder Than War and once again finds an almost unparalleled collection of riches from an album considered by many to be one of Dylan’s finest.

Fragments’ Bears Witness to Bob Dylan’s Late ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Fragments’ Bears Witness to Bob Dylan’s Late

Seguono due CD di "outtakes and alternates" dell'album (con l'eccezione del brano di apertura: una "The Water Is Wide" da brividi). Ho gradito che siano state indicate le date delle registrazioni, in modo da farci apprezzare come lo stesso brano si sia sviluppato nel tempo, anche nei testi. Meiner Meinung nach ist diese Box, mit dem etwas merkwürdigen aber doch irgendwie passenden Titel Fragments, ausgesprochen gelungen und die fragwürdigen Teile (CD 4, CD 5) schmälern meine Begeisterung nicht. As ever with Bootleg Series, it’s fascinating for fans to hear familiar material in its earlier form. The torch song ‘Make You Feel My Love’ is stripped to bare essentials, yet already feels special – few would predict that it would wind up being covered by Adele, P!NK, Billy Joel, and around 200 other artists… but it carries a certain magic, a sparkle right from the off. Ich werde diesmal nicht ganz so ausführlich wie sonst über die Bootleg Series von Bob Dylan schreiben. Die Umstände, wie die Songs entstanden sind und aufgenommen wurden, sollten bekannt sein Disillusioned by modern recording techniques following 1990’s flat all-stars workout Under The Red Sky, the Minnesota-born legend’s creative energies were gradually regenerated by the extensive trawl through traditional Blues and folk songs (a crucial formative inspiration for Dylan’s songwriting) executed on the starkly solo acoustic Good As I Been to You (1992) and 1993’s World Gone Wrong.Fragments sheds light on the gradual development of these songs during the extensive recording sessions, with the songs morphing into sometimes unrecognizable shapes (a robustly funky “Not Dark Yet”) as the album’s concept moved from loop-based minimalism to swampy extemporizations by a large cast of musicians trying their best to hang on as Dylan steered rapidly through ideas and arrangements.

When it was released in 1997, Bob Dylan’s thirtieth studio album, Time Out of Mind, was hailed as a masterpiece.

Disc 5 includes 12 further outtakes and live versions previously included on The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 so will already feature in many Dylan collections. These are no doubt included here to make this a complete collection of recordings taken from this period. One particular highlight here is the highly energised, almost incendiary live version of Cold Irons Bound from the Bonnaroo Festival in June 2004 and, based on this performance, I can only wonder how good it would be to get this full show officially released at some point in the future. At their best, the results offer glimpses of equally thrilling alternative directions the album could have headed in – one early variant of “Can’t Wait” carries a distinctive whiff of dank, juicy New Orleans variant of funk, while another piano-led variant is pure passionate gospel steaminess. Yet another version, a hoped-up live one, gallops with an exuberant energy that is deliciously at odds with the heartbroken frustration of the lyrics.

To give this some context, Dylan had not released an album of original material for seven years since Under The Red Sky in 1990 and many were casting doubts on his ongoing longevity as a creative artist. And it appears that Dylan himself may have shared some of this doubt, having talked openly through those years about having enough songs to sing, perhaps questioning or even justifying the need not to write many more. But fortunately, in the snowy winter of 1996, Dylan finally found a spark of inspiration, perhaps fuelled by his desire to plunder the archives of his peers from which he originally gained so much stimulation at the start of his career, and all that was about to change.
