Por primera vez todas las sesiones de Basement Tapes estarán disponibles al público, a partir del 4 de noviembre, en forma de colección de seis discos con 138 canciones, de las cuales unas 30 se desconocía su existencia hasta el anuncio de hoy.
Tras las secuelas del accidente de moto de Dylan en 1966, en las sesiones encontramos a Dylan y The Band (entonces The Crackers) en su retiro en Woodstock, Nueva York. Graban juntos unas 100 canciones, gran parte de las cuales se ceden a otros artistas: Manfred Mann (Quinn the Eskimo), The Byrds (You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere), o Peter, Paul and Mary (Too Much of Nothing). Las versiones de Dylan de estas canciones aparecieron por primera vez en el bootleg de 1969 Great White Wonder, y posteriormente tuvieron lanzamiento oficial en 1975.
Entre las “inéditas” hay una canción titulada Wild Wolf; una primera grabación de I shall be released, con diferentes letras, una versión de Hank Williams, My Bucket’s Got a Hole In It, de 1949, así como versiones country de Blowin’ in the Wind, It Ain’t Me Babe o One Too Many Mornings, con el teclista Richard Manuel en la voz principal en algunos trozos.
The Basement Tapes Complete es el nº11 de The Bootleg Series, un archivo de canciones que ya comenzó en los años noventa. Su lanzamiento coincidirá con Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes, en el que varios músicos pondrán voz a las letras perdidas del legendario músico.
