As a huge, huge Dylan fan (I've seen him live around 35 times), and someone who thinks The Band really helped to carve out a distinctive strand of very North American folk rock that is massively influential to this day, I really want to love this, but in reality it's a series of unfinished demos that only really work as a snapshot of what was surely a very fun, very creative time, and it's not a cohesive album I want to sit through very often. Music from Big Pink and John Wesley Harding could make my top ten on a good day, and this is a great collection in terms of figuring out how they both came together, but it pales in comparison to both. Some belters here, mind.

I'm a huge fan of The Band. There are only two albums by Dylan that I consider to be superior to The Basement Tapes: Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde.

Like both quite a bit. This is subpar for both of them. I'd take at least ten Dylan albums over this any day and agree that the band would carve out a much more recognizable niche. I actually loved my time with the complete tapes box set because this to me works less as a summary

It's not my fave Dylan album at all. It was the only album of his, from my Dylan Complete Albums CD collection I used to have, which I didn't add to my iTunes library, (remember iPods? lol).
Anyway I prefer the bootleg series version of this album The Basement Tapes Raw.
There are some good tracks on here but it doesn't hold up as an album experience for me.
Still, at least Dylan was willing to take risks.
