Search - Bob Dylan :: Songs for Bonnie (The Minnesota Hotel Tape--December 1961)

The label is Shooting Star, the catalog #001. 25 tracks with liner notes. Recorded at a Minnesota apartment in 1961; a/k/a "The Hotel Tape." The only omission (to get an 81 minute tape onto a 80 minute disc) was the toss-off joke song "East Orange." Otherwise, this is the young, early, acoustic Dylan doing a wonderful set of folk/blues covers. Spontaneous, and sparkling with the wit and vitality that would shortly catapult him to success.
