Fragments Preview: The Time Out Of Mind Sessions - Bootleg Series Vol.17 (Part One)
The Pre-Release Series
Just over a week ago, the text message arrived: “Click this link and ruin your weekend.” And so began my now 10-day old love affair with Fragments: The Time Out Of Mind Sessions (Bootleg Series Volume 17).
For Dylan.FM and everyone who’s been on our TOOM25 journey for the last nine months we’re doing a 10+ part post-series looking at this new box from various angles, starting today running through the release on 1/27. This kick-off post is going out to everyone but most of this series will only be for Paid/Premium Members.
The series focuses on commentary and perspective on the contents of the box, what it adds to our knowledge and view of Time Out Of Mind, and a deeper dive into the parts of the release. There will be opinions and insights into the music and versions, but far more qualified reviewers will be offering plenty of those kinds of posts and articles soon enough.
After the box has been released, some parts of this series will be shared with everyone. We also have some amazing TOOM related interviews coming up surrounding the release - it will be a good time to be a Premium Member.
Part One includes first impressions of the album, outtakes, and live songs and a few overall observations about the new Bootleg Series. It starts below.
