The Basement Tapes

by Bob Dylan & The Band

The Basement Tapes cover art

Finally receiving an official release years after circulating as the first major rock bootleg, this legendary 1967 recording session captures Bob Dylan retreating from the psychedelic spotlight. 'The Basement Tapes' is an incredibly raw, wonderfully playful exploration of rustic Americana, matching intensely surreal, highly humorous folklore with beautifully pastoral, deeply lo-fi roots-rock jams.
