Columbia Records and Bob Dylan are offering the song “Mississippi,” as a free download for a limited time exclusively on Amazon. The track will also be available on October 7 as part of Bob Dylan’s Tell Tale Signs – The Bootleg Series Vol. 8.
More from the press release:
Originally recorded for the Grammy Award-winning Time Out of Mind album in 1997, a drastically different rendering of “Mississippi” finally made its appearance on 2001’s Love and Theft. The version found on Tell Tale Signs, likely one of the first takes of the song recorded, can be described as stripped-down and soulful, and features producer Daniel Lanois on electric guitar.
“Mississippi” is my personal fav from Love and Theft and this is a nice down-tempo, bluesy version that I’m enjoying more than the final album cut.
Okay, okay. Just go get it here.

Pompey – I’d love to, but I’m pretty sure Amazon signed this deal with a big record label for a reason. The lawyer inside my brain advised me not to.
Right Oz…luckily I found a link on the Dylan website and the live streaming on npr…..a Dylan listening lawyer? I thought I was the only one!
