All of the sixteen Dylan compositions are thought to have been recorded eight years earlier in the basement of Big Pink,[1][2] a house shared by three of the members of the Band,[3] while the eight Band songs were recorded at various times and locations between 1967 and 1975; overdubs were also added in 1975 to some of the Dylan songs. The Band was a rock group active from 1967 to 1976 and again from 1983 to 1999 [2][4] As Bob Dylan recovered from a motorcycle accident during 1967, he called on the Band to help him experiment with themes of traditional folk music and Americana; these explorations, and their possible links with the earlier Anthology of American Folk Music, are explored in rock writer Greil Marcus's Invisible Republic (later reissued as The Old, Weird America).

The sessions laid the foundation both for the approach of Dylan's 1967 album John Wesley Harding, and for the Band finding their own voice on 1968's Music from Big Pink.

The story of The Basement Tapes

In the mid-1960s, Bob Dylan was at the peak of his creativity, having broken into the mainstream with his popular and acclaimed albums Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde. Highway 61 Revisited is Bob Dylan 's sixth studio album released in 1965 by Columbia Records. Blonde on Blonde is Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan 's seventh Studio album, released in 1966 by Columbia Records. In the latter half of 1965, during the interim between those two albums, Dylan began touring with The Hawks (later known as The Band). The Band was a rock group active from 1967 to 1976 and again from 1983 to 1999 Their live collaboration would continue into the first half of 1966, culminating in a legendary world tour documented in The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert. The Bootleg Series Vol 4 Bob Dylan Live 1966 The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert is a live recording from Bob Dylan 's legendary "world tour" Dylan returned exhausted from the hectic schedule of the world tour. [6] His manager, Albert Grossman, scheduled another sixty-three concerts across the USA for that year, with more concerts overseas rumored after that. Albert Bernard Grossman ( May 21, 1926 - January 25, 1986) was an entrepreneur and manager in the American Folk music scene [6]

After the crash

On July 29th that year, Dylan suffered a mild concussion and cracked vertebrae when he crashed his Triumph motorcycle near Woodstock, New York. Events 1014 - Byzantine-Bulgarian Wars: Battle of Kleidion: Byzantine emperor Basil II inflicts a decisive defeat A vertebra (plural vertebrae) is an individual Irregular bone in the spinal or Vertebral column ( aka ischis a flexuous and flexible column Triumph Motorcycles is a British Motorcycle manufacturer originally based in Coventry. Woodstock is a town in Ulster County, New York, United States. [7] The concerts he was scheduled to perform had to be cancelled. [8]

While he was recovering, Dylan reviewed a preliminary cut of D. A. Pennebaker's documentary of the 1966 world tour. Donn Alan "D A" Pennebaker (born July 15, 1925) is an American Documentary filmmaker and one of the pioneers of Direct Cinema "They had made another Dont Look Back, only this time it was for television," recalled Dylan in 1978. Dont Look Back is a 1967 Documentary film by DA Pennebaker that principally covers Bob Dylan 's 1965 concert tour of the "I had nothing better to do than to see the film. All of it, including unused footage. And it was obvious from looking at the film that it was garbage. It was miles and miles of garbage. "[9] Dissatisfied with Pennebaker's results, Dylan re-edited the footage into a surrealistic film, titled Eat the Document. Eat the Document is a rarely exhibited documentary of Bob Dylan 's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom with the Hawks. (Howard Alk, who shot much of the footage, and Robbie Robertson also accepted Dylan's invitation to help him edit the film. Robbie Robertson (born Jaime Robert Klegerman, 5 July 1943 at Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Songwriter, )

Dylan spent this time thinking a lot about the direction he had been going, in which he felt exhausted from non-stop touring. He was thinking that "there must be another way of life for the pop star in which he is in control, not they" and also had to sort out his relationship with his manager Albert Grossman. Albert Bernard Grossman ( May 21, 1926 - January 25, 1986) was an entrepreneur and manager in the American Folk music scene [10] Dylan later recalled, "The turning point was back in Woodstock. A little after the accident. Sitting around one night under a full moon, I looked out into the bleak woods and I said, 'Something's gotta change. '"[11]

Killing time with The Hawks

According to the late Rick Danko, he, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson joined Robbie Robertson in West Saugerties in February of 1967, and the three of them moved into a house nicknamed Big Pink, with Robertson living nearby with his future wife Dominique. Richard Clare "Rick" Danko ( December 29, 1942 – December 10, 1999) was a Canadian musician and singer best known as a Richard George Manuel ( April 3, 1943 – March 4, 1986) was a Canadian Composer, Singer, and multi-instrumentalist Eric Garth Hudson (b August 2 1937 in Windsor Ontario) is a Canadian Musician. Robbie Robertson (born Jaime Robert Klegerman, 5 July 1943 at Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Songwriter, [12] Danko and Manuel had been invited to Woodstock to shoot additional scenes that Dylan was thinking of adding to Eat the Document. Eat the Document is a rarely exhibited documentary of Bob Dylan 's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom with the Hawks. [12]

The date is uncertain, but sometime between March and June, Dylan and the Hawks began a series of informal recording sessions. Originally taking place in the so-called Red Room in Dylan's house, these sessions eventually moved to the basement of Big Pink. [1][13]

Garth Hudson set up a recording unit, using two stereo mixers and a tape recorder borrowed from Grossman, as well as a set of microphones from Peter, Paul and Mary. Peter Paul and Mary (often called PP&M) are a musical group from the United States who were one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the [14] Dylan would later tell Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner: "That's really the way to do a recording—in a peaceful, relaxed setting—in somebody's basement. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published Jann Simon Wenner (born January 7, 1946, in New York City) is the co-founder and publisher of the music and politics biweekly Rolling Stone With the windows open . . . and a dog lying on the floor. "[15]

For the first couple of months, they were just "killing time," according to Robertson. [16] Apparently, much of the early months was spent on covers. "With the covers Bob was educating us a little," recalls Roberston. "The whole folkie thing was still very questionable to us—it wasn't the train we came in on . . . He'd come up with something like 'Royal Canal,' and you'd say, 'This is so beautiful! The expression!' . . . he remembered too much, remembered too many songs too well. He'd come over to Big Pink, or wherever we were, and pull out some old song—and he'd prepped for this. He'd practiced this, and then come out here, to show us. "[17] Circulating tapes from these sessions reveal a large, diverse number of popular songs, including compositions written or made popular by Johnny Cash, Ian Tyson, John Lee Hooker, Hank Williams, Hank Snow and Eric Von Schmidt, as well as many traditional songs. Johnny Cash (born J R Cash; February 26 1932 - September 12 2003 was a Grammy Award -winning American country Singer-songwriter. Ian (Dawson Tyson Singer songwriter guitarist rancher b Victoria BC 25 Sep 1933 honorary D LITT (Athabaska 1993 honorary LLD (Calgary 2001 John Lee Hooker ( August 22, 1917 &ndash June 21, 2001) was an influential American Post-war Blues singer Hank Williams ( September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953) was an American Singer-songwriter and Musician who has Clarence Eugene Snow ( May 9, 1914 &ndash December 20, 1999) better known as Hank Snow, was a Hall of Fame Country music Eric Von Schmidt ( May 28 1931 — February 2 2007) was an American Singer-songwriter associated with the Folk/blues [18]

New compositions

Dylan was soon writing and recording new compositions at these informal sessions. "We were doing seven, eight, ten, sometimes fifteen songs a day," recalls Hudson. "Some were old ballads and traditional songs . . . but others Bob would make up as he went along . . . We'd play the melody, he'd sing a few words he'd written, and then make up some more, or else just mouth sounds or even syllables as he went along. It's a pretty good way to write songs. "[19]

In a matter of months, Dylan would record at least thirty new compositions with the Hawks, including some of the most celebrated songs of his career: "I Shall Be Released," "This Wheel's On Fire," "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)," "Million Dollar Bash," "Tears of Rage," "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," "Going To Acapulco," "I'm Not There (1956)," "All You Have To Do Is Dream," "Apple Suckling Tree" and others. " I Shall Be Released " is a 1967 song written by Bob Dylan. " This Wheel's on Fire " is a song written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko. " Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn " is a 1967 Folk-rock song written and first recorded by Bob Dylan during The Basement Tapes sessions Tears of Rage is a song written by Bob Dylan and Richard Manuel of The Band, the former writing the lyrics and the melody being provided You Ain't Goin' Nowhere is a Song by Bob Dylan and The Band, officially released in 1975 on the album The Basement Tapes. At least two songs were co-written with members of the Hawks: "This Wheel's On Fire" with Rick Danko and "Tears Of Rage" with Richard Manuel. Manuel recalled: "He came down to the basement with a piece of typewritten paper . . . and he just said, 'Have you got any music for this?' . . . I had a couple of musical movements that fit . . . so I just elaborated a bit, because I wasn't sure what the lyrics meant. I couldn't run upstairs and say, 'What's this mean, Bob: "Now the heart is filled with gold as if it was a purse"?'"[20]

In May of 1967, Dylan gave his first interview in roughly a year. He told Michael Iachetta that "What I've been doing mostly is seein' only a few close friends, readin' little 'bout the outside world, porin' over books by people you never heard of, thinkin' about where I'm goin', and why am I runnin', and am I mixed up too much, and what am I knowin', and what am I givin' and what am I takin'. And mainly what I've been doin' is workin' on gettin' better and makin' better music, which is what my life is all about. "[21]

Dwarf Music demos

Dylan still owed Columbia one more album, or fourteen new songs. [22] In fact, Dylan's original intentions for those songs remain unclear, although it should be noted he copyrighted fourteen of the songs, the same number that he owed Columbia. The songs copyrighted were: "Million Dollar Bash," "Yea Heavy and a Bottle of Bread," "Please Mrs. Henry," "Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)," "Lo and Behold," "Tiny Montgomery," "This Wheel's On Fire," "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere", "I Shall Be Released," "Tears of Rage," "Too Much of Nothing," "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)," "Open the Door, Homer" and "Nothing Was Delivered. Down in the Flood is a song by Bob Dylan, originally recorded by him in 1967 and featured on his 1971 Compilation album, You Ain't Goin' Nowhere is a Song by Bob Dylan and The Band, officially released in 1975 on the album The Basement Tapes. " I Shall Be Released " is a 1967 song written by Bob Dylan. Tears of Rage is a song written by Bob Dylan and Richard Manuel of The Band, the former writing the lyrics and the melody being provided " Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn " is a 1967 Folk-rock song written and first recorded by Bob Dylan during The Basement Tapes sessions "

At the end of August, ten of them were dubbed down from their original stereo recordings to mono and copyrighted by Dwarf Music; in January of 1968, Dylan copyrighted another batch of songs including "Tears of Rage," "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)," "Nothing Was Delivered," and "Open the Door Homer. Tears of Rage is a song written by Bob Dylan and Richard Manuel of The Band, the former writing the lyrics and the melody being provided " Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn " is a 1967 Folk-rock song written and first recorded by Bob Dylan during The Basement Tapes sessions " Jointly formed by Dylan and Grossman, Dwarf Music was established in 1965 in order to copyright demos intended for other artists. In an interview taken in 1978, Dylan admitted that the songs written and recorded at Big Pink "were written vaguely for other people . . . I don't remember anybody specifically those songs were ever written for . . . At that time psychedelic rock was overtaking the universe and we were singing these homespun ballads. "

Peter, Paul and Mary were the first to chart with a Big Pink composition when they issued their single of "Too Much of Nothing" in late 1967. Peter Paul and Mary (often called PP&M) are a musical group from the United States who were one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the [23] Ian & Sylvia, who like Peter, Paul and Mary were managed by Grossman, also had early access to the Basement Tape songs, and they recorded "Tears of Rage," "Quinn the Eskimo" and "This Wheel's on Fire. Ian and Sylvia Tyson, CM, were a Canadian Folk music duo who performed and recorded from the early 1960s through the early 1970s "[23] Manfred Mann had a hit with "Mighty Quinn" in the US and the UK in early 1968.

Eventually, rumors of Dylan and The Band's enormous stash of unreleased recordings began to circulate. Rolling Stone Magazine even ran a cover story in June 1968 demanding that they be released. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published [27] The fourteen songs copyrighted by Dwarf Music brought those particular songs into private circulation, as demo acetates were soon cut for those songs. With no planned release in sight, these demo acetates became the source material for a number of bootlegs, the first of which was titled Great White Wonder, which came out in July 1969. Great White Wonder or GWW was a Double album Bootleg recording of Bob Dylan, released in July 1969 and famous for [28]

Columbia's release of The Basement Tapes compilation

On June 26, 1975, Columbia officially released a 24-song, double-album titled The Basement Tapes. Year 1975 ( MCMLXXV) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Compiled by Robbie Robertson, eight of the twenty-four songs did not feature Dylan, and a number of these eight were not actually recorded at the Big Pink sessions. [2][29]

All of the tracks were 'remixed' to mono while Robertson and other members of The Band overdubbed new piano, guitar, and/or drum parts over some of the original Dylan-Band recordings. [2]

The Basement Tapes was hailed by critics, with John Rockwell of The New York Times calling it "The greatest album in the history of American popular music.
