John Wesley Harding were written prior to some of the songs on
The Basement Tapeshundreds of surprising facts are uncovered in this catalog of 300 songs, spanning his career prior to
Blood on the Tracks. Newly discovered manuscripts, anecdotal evidence, and a seemingly limitless knowledge of every Dylan live performance contribute to this definitive resource of the words of a celebrated American singer-songwriter.
