Tell Tale Signs, Bob Dylan

Unmatched, unmatchable. If we needed a reminder of the genius of Bob Dylan, other than the hundreds of shows, the radio shows and the legacy - here lies 2008's reminder that we still live in the time of an extraordinary talent and man.

Collecting together out-takes, alternative versions and a few live bootlegs, this documents some of the stuff we haven't heard from Bob over the last 20 years.

Contained within this exceptional collection is an unheard song left out of 1997's Time Out Of Mind. This is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Red River Shore - A man living in the ghost of a past love; it rips to the core in the way that only Bob can.

I'm off to listen more, weep, and feel the joy of having a reason to live.
