MUMBAI: Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalogue division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release Bob Dylan Trouble No More with The Bootleg Series Volume 13 / 1979-1981 on 3 November .
The latest chapter in Columbia/Legacy’s highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series showcases the music Dylan wrote and performed during one of the most surprising, controversial and inspired periods of his career.
As the 1970s ended and the 1980s began, Dylan responded to the changing of the decades with a three album trilogy- which is the Slow Train Coming (1979), Saved (1980) and Shot of Love (1981) of spirit filled songs of praise, worship and devotion. These songs were as deeply personal and packed with poetics as any Dylan had ever written, but the force of conviction and power of faith evident in these performances baffled segments of Dylan’s fan base which is just as Dylan’s “going electric” had alienated folk purists in 1965).
